No network drivers for doing kickstart

[Phil Bettinson]

Morning,

Your issue might possibly be because of the switch that the machines are 
connected too. Some (newer?) switches do some negotiations and speed 
tests before clearing the port for use, this can cause the DHCP to time 
out (as the network request doesn't get further than the port). I've had 
this problem on a few machines here, but our network engineer simply 
removed or decreased the timing for the port (sorry for the vague 
answer, but I havn't seen the operation myself yet), and that seemed to 
solve the problem

Hope that Helps,

Phil
