I cant comment on your issue here as such, but my the way to achieve 
something along the lines of what you are doing is to build and drop in 
a firstboot module that could then use the interface setup via firstboot 
for user interaction. Generally doing user interaction at the level you 
are doing, in a kickstart file, is considered bad practice.
