Interesting. Calling PXENV_UNDI_OPEN (or attempting to transmit a packet via PXENV_UNDI_TRANSMIT) will call netdev_rx_freeze() on the relevant network device. Once this has been done, net_poll() will leave any received packets on the device's RX queue, and will not pass them up the stack. They should never reach the TCP layer. Are you sure that the RST is coming from iPXE? If iPXE is built with DEBUG=tcp:3, do you see any messages corresponding to the RST packets?
