Hello all,

   The installation guide for RHEL5 seems to suggest a slightly 
different syntax to what you show.  The URL is 
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html 
and the relevant keyword for the KS file is "network".  I think the 
argument to the "--ethtool=" option needs to match what could be used 
with an "ethtool" when run at the command line.

eg.:
network --ethtool="speed 10 duplex half autoneg off" --hostname=blah ..etc
