probing for network devices during the pre phase

Basically I have the same question as posed in the
thread below:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2003-December/msg00043.html

In the %pre phase, I'm working on a small interactive
menu to grab some basic info from which I will write
out a complete ks.cfg using %include statements. For
the network section, I would like to probe the system
for network devices and prompt the user to choose one
(and only one). I can't find anything obvious in the
isys.py module like I can for probing disk drives.
There is /usr/lib/anaconda/kudzu-probe-stub which
might be a possibility. I guess I could parse ifconfig
-a output but that seems kind of messy. Anyone know a
better way to get at this info?

regards,
Lance
