No

I'm trying to clone iMac (that's Z77 chipset.)using clonezilla clonezilla-live-20130207-raring-i386.iso

Looks like there is no support for integrated network card with it.
BCM57766 Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet PCIe rev 01

There is also integrated Wi-Fi card, also not supported:
BCM4331 Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n rev 02

Because it's an imac there is no way to add another network cards, except suing USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt, but I don't have one of those.

    I have cloned machine using usb drive - no issues.

    Moreover I have accidentally also applied windows 8 install on that iMac - surprisingly system booted, but lacks drivers.

    I think we have to wait for the upstream (Ubuntu Linux) to support that.
