I did not choose a driver explicitly. So I have no idea which driver gPXE 
is using.

I have one jack.
I tried again both Images and noticed different NIC-Names in the ifstat 
command

1) Image compiled with "make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=..."

gPXE> ifstat
net0 : 00:1c:25:xx:xx:xx on PCI00:19.0 (closed)
[Link:up, TX:0 TXE.0 RX:0 RXE:0]

gPXE> dhcp net0
.... Could not configure net0: Connection timed out (0x4c106035)
gPXE> ifstat
net0 : 00:1c:25:xx:xx:xx on PCI00:19.0 (open)
[Link:up, TX:0 TXE.0 RX:84 RXE:0]


2) Image compiled with "make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=... 
DEBUG=multiboot,undi,undinet,undiload,undirom"

gPXE> ifstat
net0: 00:1c:25:xx:xx:xx on UNDI-PCI00:19.0 (closed)
[Link:up, TX:0 TXE.0 RX:0 RXE:0]
gPXE>  dhcp net0
UNDINIC 0x7cdbc opended
.... OK
gPXE> ifstat
net0: 00:1c:25:xx:xx:xx on UNDI-PCI00:19.0 (open)
[Link:up, TX:3 TXE.0 RX:187 RXE:0]
