Man, I HATE USB to Ethernet adapters. The only ones I’ve found stable are the ASIX ones, currently using AX88179 and zero problems.

Last one I touched was a 2012 model. Take a look at the below post on technet, particularly the reply by “DC500” they reference a bios setting that may be relevant. Could still be that you need the dell supported adapter though. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/8d84b766-34be-4be9-b858-a2f811b184ea/unable-to-pxe-boot-from-a-usb-ethernet-dongle-on-a-dell-xps-13?forum=configmgrosd From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Poling Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 3:20 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Dell XPS 13 and PXE I updated the BIOS to the latest for this model...A.04.

The initial version of the BIOS didn’t support pxe booting from a usb adapter they released an update to support that with adapters with a particular chipset in the adapter. Try updating the BIOS?

If I use USB boot media, I can get the task sequence initiated without an issue. WinPE even detects the USB NIC without any special drivers injected into the boot image.

We had XPS 13’s we built from PXE with a USB NIC. Before we updated the PXE images, you had to use it on the USB 2.0 port. The 3.0 would let you boot into PXE but then it would fail after it started loading drivers.

Is anyone PXE booting this particular model of Dell XPS? If so, is there a place I can go for info on what is needed to PXE boot it?
