No idea, sorry. > 2. We build 808610de.efi from the source files.

I think this will build an iPXE image that contains the ich8lan code of the e1000e driver only, thus making it work with all PCI IDs specified in e1000e_ich8lan.c. If your card is in that list you'll be fine, otherwise you need a differnet image. You can build specific driver images with: make bin/e1000e.efi or make bin/e1000e--r8169.efi for multi-driver images. If you want all iPXE drivers in your image use: make bin/ipxe.efi At least that's how it should work for BIOS images, I don't know if there are any relevant differences to EFI images.
