I will double-check with engineering with I do not think it works although the 
Bios shows such option. In fact, this is a generic option in all Bios's that 
basically looks for the Ethernet adapter OpROM and enables the PXE OpROM if it 
is found. There is no such ROM on our board. This is also where the MAC address 
is typicall stored which is why it's not found later in the boot process. The 
driver in this case assigns a random one.

Hmmm... not sure that's possible.

Yes, I see what you need but I'm not sure how to address it currently.
