Public bug reported:
Initramfs taken from the live iso for PXE boot does not contain USB NIC
drivers which makes PXE installation/netboot impossible via usb.
"kernel/drivers/net/usb" is empty and needs to be included in the
initramfs build.
As most modern thin laptops lack physical rj45 ethernet this is a big
issue.
