Attached is my patch. There's
a lot of weird corner cases that this patch does *not* cover, but if
you want it to ask for network configuration if the network line is not
specified, then this will do the trick nicely

I know that the existing behaviour throws a *lot* of people for a loop,
it pops up on IRC and email lists occasionally, because, as you say,
it's non-standard behaviour.
In fact, I recently had to work around this behaviour by patching
kickstart.py.
Here' s my patch on 11.1.2.87, I know there's a newer version, I'm
just pulling down changes on the anaconda master branch now, I'll see
if I can come up with a patch against the master.

One basic assumption we have today is that a kickstart file without a
network line implies DHCP. In all other cases, a kickstart file without
some piece of information implies stop and ask. How many people will
complain if I change the network line to behave like all others for F12
and RHEL6?
This gets rid of the need to port network --bootproto=query from RHEL5
to Rawhide since it would then be the default behavior.
