[Centos] NIC detection by anaconda

[Greg Kurtzer]

I could be mistaken, but I believe that the syskonnect card is considered
"unsupported" by RH (RH seems to prefer Intel's) even though that sk98lin was 
the first and probably one of the most mature gigE driver in the kernel. In
any case this means that anaconda does not include the sk98lin.o module.

After the install, simply install kernel-unsupported, and then you will have
access to your card.

Maybe we can push some of the unsupported drivers into Anaconda?
