What should cause a problem in my setup? Booting from a usb stick?

btw: Why does "ifstat" show two different nic?
PCI00:19.0
UNDI-PCI00:19.0

Does this mean, using DEBUG changes the behavior of gPXE?

I tried DEBUG=e1000 and get much output but still does not work. 
Unfortunately this notebook has no serial console. I will try to get a USB2SERIAL-Adapter and try to get
the Debugging output tomorrow, before the owner takes back his notebook 
next week.
