This should probably be its own thread, but just to add some clarification.
The no networking issue generally occurs when people boot the USB on their computer (not in a VM) and they are expecting to use WiFi and either the WiFi drivers aren't available or they don't realize they need to select and authenticate to a network. Note: Wired networks could theoretically have the similar issued but in practice tend to just work (or just don't get used as often).
