NIC problem

Thanks to all. - finally jiggled my brain. That explains why I haven't
seen the problem, but my associates do. When I build a work station, I
install all the hardware before kickstart, and thus anaconda fills in
the HWADDR. My associates prefer to install the extra NICS after
imaging the machine.

Of course I have to deal with the old bugaboo that kickstart numbers
the NICS with the built-in card last, so I have to modify the
modprobe.conf lines. Interestingly enough, PXEBOOT gets it right with
the built-in NIC appearing first as default in the list of choices.
Just one of life's little pains.
