So it seems the ASIX dongle can be initialized just once, by the PXE rom

Building a usb image should be the same, right? Just use
target bin/undionly.usb instead? iPXE starts OK doing that, but then
'ifconf' shows no network devices. Is there something I need to do to
get my USB dongle to show up?
Unfortunately it's not that easy. The "undionly" driver is only for
chainloading; it doesn't have any capability to load or unload an
underlying PXE stack.
You can try using bin/undi.usb (or just the usual bin/ipxe.usb); either
of these will include the UNDI PCI driver which will attempt to load a
PXE ROM provided by a PCI device. If your Dell provides the PXE ROM in
the form of a PCI ROM image (possibly with vendor:device IDs matching
the USB controller) then there is a slim chance of this working.
