I know this NIC. :) It's the (previously NetXen) QLogic "Phantom" NIC.

Can you capture the DHCP transaction with Wireshark or 'tcpdump' and
filter it for DHCP and share the resulting packets as an e-mail
attachment? I don't quite understand what you mean by the client
sending an empty boot filename. Do you mean it makes a TFTP request
with an empty filename? If so, do you have a Control-B CLI? If so, can
you please try:
dhcp net0
show filename
and report whether or not you got a filename from the DHCP service?

This NIC probably has an older version of gPXE on it, so we should keep
that in mind.
Hmmm... Here's a re-send. I somehow messed up the iPXE mailing-list in
the carbon-copy list.
