Debian Netboot Image using live build



Hi,
 
I'm trying to build a network bootable Debian live build image.
 
The version of live build which I am using is "live-build, version 3.0~a48-1".
 
The Debian kernel which I am using is
"Linux version 3.2.0-2-686-pae (Debian 3.2.20-1) (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-7) ) #1 SMP Mon Jun 11 18:27:04 UTC 2012".
 
I have configured the basic options to build a network bootable live build image.
 
While testing the image using tftp on a Dell Optiplex 790, I get the following error
 
"Waiting for ethernet card(s) up.....if this fails,may be the ethernet card is not support by the kernel 3.2.0-3-686-pae?"
 
I have searched on the internet but I didn't had any luck. So I thought of e-mailing you.
 
Below are the logs from the tftp server:

I was wondering if you can point me in a right direction on how to build a workable network bootable Debian live image.
 
Let me know if you need any further information.
 
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
 
Thanks,
