kiskstart installation does not asks for network configuration

[Duane Miller]

Why only one line in the top section?  And it's not complete.  Maybe it 
doesn't like the unknown video card.  What does anaconda-ks.cfg look 
like when you do a manual install?

If it only skips the network configuration screen, it's ususally because 
the network card is not recognized.  Does a manual install recognize the 
card?
