kickstart nic driver issue

["Dallas Engelken" <dallase nmgi com>]

Hi,  first time poster here. 

I'm trying to kickstart some machines with Intel based nic cards, and I know the e100 modules works as the driver, but when I try and kickstart them with the 

network --bootproto static --device eth0 --ip 172.17.1.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 172.17.1.254 --nameserver 64.217.128.175

option, it never ends up writing a ifcfg-eth0 or putting in "alias eth0 e100" into my modules.conf.  Is this because it cant figure out the correct module to load for it??

I tried adding 


 device eth e100

as specified in the custom guide on redhat's site, but that didnt help either.  when i kickstart a rack system i have with this kickstart file, it loads the NIC fine.. which is also an intel integrated nic.

is the device line supposed to be 

 device eth0 e100

from what i read, <type> should be scsi or eth, and <moduleName> is the name of the kernel module which should be installed.

thanks for any guidance,
