Huh?? Does your machine have a pxe capable nic?? If so why not setup your dhcp and
tftp server to do pxe boot. Then you do not have to worry about probing the nics.
For this to work you need a pxe capable bios and nic.

Specify your ks file in the default configuration file on the tftp server. Something
like the following works for me:

label ks9
  kernel RHL9/vmlinuz
  append ks RHL9/initrd=initrd.img ks=http://192.168.0.2/kickstart/ks-cfg

Not sure what you are really trying to accomplish here. linux dhcp server, tftp server,
nfs and a machine with a pxe capable bios and nic are all that is needed.

I do it all the time here but if you cannot meet the above requirements
you need to find a different wat to do it. There are many but.....
