This is a bug in ipxe not netboot: https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/issues/640 if you have the device datasheets, submit them to upstream so they can implement a driver.

Recommend using the snp (Simple Network Protocol) images as they don't require the network driver to be built in if you are booting and pulling from over the network. Otherwise you will have to wait for upstream iPXE support.
