It may be worse than that even.  PXE provides native UDP support in the BIOS
and pxeboot uses that.  I do think there is a way to send and receive
raw packets rather than UDP,  but now you are talking about implementing
not just TCP, but IP, arp, etc.  If you booted a kernel with an mfsroot that
used an init program that talked to an HTTP server that might be a different
matter.
