Well, that is what I was thinking about - big misunderstanding. It is difficult to precise and discuss well such things only in few sentences on forum.

I have never expected UEFI to work on BIOS machine. From the begining (see post on 3rd site - 'big picture') I try to explain it.

In scenarios presented in 'big picture' I have never mentioned neither UEFI nor BIOS.
The trick is that I would like to take advantage of UEFI Driver placed in Newtork Interface Card's flash memory. Maybe I should not call it UEFI Driver (which it exactly is) for better understanding of whole project. I do not need to use UEFI by itself nor BIOS!

What I got is only:

- Network Interface Card with driver in flash (it is actually UEFI driver, but forget it for a while - let's say it is just some DRIVER)
- RedHat
- MyLinuxDriver

What I want? I want to run internet connection on RedHat using MyLinuxDriver that uses DRIVER's functions. That is all. Please do not mix UEFI or BIOS to that. It is absolutely something different.
It has no matter what machine I use - projects assumes only mentioned three things (NIC, RedHat, MyLinuxDriver).

I hope that it became clear now.

PS.
Maybe that proposal of solution:

deceived us - but my response was 'no, because of such things:'
- it should work only for RedHat - not for all OSes
- it should work under BIOS machines and UEFI machines - not only UEFI machines

If I described it wrong - sorry. It is really not so easy to show somebody one's thinking way.
