Apparently, though the usb stck is not readable by a started OSX (macOS), it is recognized as a 'Windows' startup disk, at least by this machine.

Alas, when booting it hangs a while waiting for network configuration, which never succeeds, and then it ends at the Snakeoil login screen with no IP address assigned.

The above problem only applies to mac. When booting from the same usb stick on a PC, an IP address is assigned.

Getting closer, but not yet there... Any suggestions?
Looks like need a new network driver for the Mac... Can you tell me the year of manufacture, and model of the Apple machine?
