Ok, I managed to get it working for me now.

Problems seems still exist in casper / kvm-pxe packages.

I'm using virt-manager, I followed instructions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/193531

Mine solution:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='00:16:36:11:d7:8f'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <target dev='vnet1'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
    </interface>

i had to replace model to:

      <model type='rtl8139'/>

And it worked. eth0 was discovered and Gnome environment has loaded.

I had problems with:

- e1000 didn't get through PXE boot (it was unable to read informations from DHCP server, altrough server was passing it by DHCPOFFER)

- ne2k_pci - hanged right after:
[ 173.281745] pan0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.
                                                                                                                             [ OK ]
 * Starting GNOME Display Manager...

after that host stopped to answer (tcpdump reported only ARP whois for virtual machine from host server).
