It seems not to be finding your card, which is strange, since
10ec:8185 is definitely in the rtl8185 driver.

Try compiling with DEBUG=rtl818x and see what you get as output. Also,
note that you can type "make bin/gpxe.lkrn" to get a Linux kernel
image without having to pull one out of the ISO.

Hope this helps,
