What is the nic in the box (pciid is preferred)
Also make sure you are using the latest version of iPXE
As well as check for firmware upgrade for the board.

Use GitHub Discussions

10ec:8168, the rtl816x is buggy on so many levels, and not surprised it fails.

I think there is several posts about them, both on the forum and mailing list.
for testing purposes, give latest git master a try with ipxe.efi instead, and see if that works.
It might be that the firmware provided driver has issues, it might be a "bad chip" (as in with some bugs, with no handling in current iPXE)
