Bug Description

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!
