I've just tried the 4.3 LiveCD and the network card works perfectly once
booted up. In lspci it shows correctly as an 'Ethernet Controller'. For
a test I've also tried kickstarting (using the same kickstart file)
except with SL 4.7, and this kickstart works perfectly.
So I guess it's a bug in anaconda in 4.3 that's fixed before 4.7. I'll
try kickstarting off DVD media or putting in another NIC.
