Disable NetworkManager during kickstart?

[Steven Timm]

According to the RHEL6 kickstart documention, Anaconda uses NetworkManager
to determine details about network interfaces.  I am wondering if
it is possible to disable NetworkManager while the kickstart
is executing. Right now it appears that NetworkManager is
correctly detecting, via DHCP, the correct IP, gateway, etc.
but then is exiting with an exception claiming that the correct
network driver is not loaded in my initrd.img and bringing up a
menu to load a network driver disk.

Is there any way to disable NetworkManager entirely during the kickstart
execution?
