Upon further testing with Brendon Walsh (niamu_work in IRC), who was having the same issue), we found that when the computer was connected to a Gigabit switch, it would not communicate over the network properly (Transmitting seems to be the issue). However, when the computer was connecting to a 10/100 Switch, it would function perfectly fine.
I found this out by mistake when I changed switches, however Brendon also confirmed it when the machine he was tested with at work (on 10/100) worked, however when an identical machine at his home was connected to a Gigabit switch, it failed.
When I submitted the first email, I was doing all of my testing on a Gigabit switch.
Attached are boots of iPXE from a USB flash drive, captured over serial, built with the following command: make DEBUG=tg3:3,tg3_hw:3,tg3_phy:3 bin/ipxe.usb. Once was on the Gigabit connection, the other 100M.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
