It should work? What version of UEFI is the Q87E? The networking stack is UEFI code, so it should be OK. But you can dial a yield on the libraries and maybe pick something that is not UEFI, and not supported on the board. Best thing to do is to run the build command with the -y build.log and see what the PCD settings, and library instances are for your driver.
