I found here that pxelinux only worked for the pxe1 rom. Also IBM says:

Remote Boot Application                                             Recommended PXE Version for Client Adapters
IBM LAN Client Control Manager (LCCM) V2.5.1          PXE1 or PXE2
IBM Workspace on Demand (WSOD) V2.0 or V3.0       PXE1
Microsoft Remote Installation Service (RIS) RC3          PXE1
OnNow Technology CCM V4.5                                      PXE1

(see http://www.networking.ibm.com/support/code.nsf/7108e0ae7a9be49d8525666b00526f37/2f7a4018b01e7b2885256ad90079c2c0?OpenDocument
)
So IBM itself usually recommends pxe1. Why they deliver the newer token-ring cards
with pxe2 installed (low-profile token-ring e.g.) is a different question ...

I didn't manage to even get it through the DHCP with the pxe2 rom. This is a while back,
so maybe something changed about this.
