Only two ways I know of:

1) Lots of work to rebuild with your nic drivers
2) put the drivers on the CD/Flash that you are using for the install
and use dd to load them

If you are using PXEBoot, you've gotta go with #1

We have new motherboards with onboard NICs which aren't recognized by
the fedora 7 installer initrd/kernel. Naturally, not having a NIC makes
using network drivers impossible. Anyone have the skinny, or a link?

Thanks,
