I think the abbreviation stands for "Pre-eXecution Environment" (?).
I don't really know the exact details of what it does, but apparently
it gives you the ability to use "BIOS" (?) functions to speak to the
network card in a hardware-independent manner, thus allowing network
boot code to be written which doesn't need specific driver support for
the actual physical NIC hardware.
