Nope the transmit path is broken.
the only thing I find in the packet capture is ARP packets of other computers on the network who ask where the computer with iPXE on it is.

I also tried pinging one computer that is able to run Wireshark directly from iPXE. That computer does not see the pings either, so the transmit path are really broken.

You need to use a broadcast ping, as per my example. Unicast pings won't work unless the receive datapath is functional, since they require the ability to receive ARP replies. A broadcast ping can still be sent even if the receive datapath is broken.

Could you retry using a broadcast ping ("ping 192.168.1.255") instead?

Thanks,
