Kickstart got a major overhaul for FC5, so it's likely I have
accidentally dropped some behavior that was present in earlier versions.
In general, the way we do things is that kickstart asks for any missing
information so in this case, asking for the networking is consistent
with that policy.  However if it's a regression from earlier versions,
file a bug against anaconda and I'll take a look at it.
