[Bug 1479437] [NEW] USB Network adaptor modules missing in PXE netboot installer

[Dennis]

Public bug reported:

I'm setting up a PXE/Preseed install of Ubuntu 15.04 on a Dell XPS 13.
It has no wired network port and needs a USB network adapter ufortunatly
the two that I have attempted to use do not have kernel modules in the
netboot installer. I have managed to work around the issue by adding the
modules to the initrd but would like to see these devices working
without any extra steps in the future.

Could the modules for r8152 and ax88179_178a be added to the initrd?

Thanks!
