"working" is a relative term.  The native gPXE interface is better 
because it allow multiple NICs of the same type to be used and because 
it offers _much_ better performance, among other things.

Is there some particular reason you would want to use the legacy 
interface support in gPXE?  If it is because you don't want to do the 
work to convert to the new API you could probably find someone to help 
with that.  It's not really that hard, especially if you already have a 
working Etherboot-style driver.

We would oppose including a legacy interface driver in gPXE without a 
_really_ good reason.  If you have one, please let us know.
