Hi,

driverdisk seems to be the keyword you're looking for :

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/fr-FR/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html

You'll probably need to copy the driver on a local disk (unless the 
network can be started even if not perfect to access via htttp the 
driverdisk)
