Well you can write the NIC configuration scripts in the %post section
that's what I do sometime when I am not sure about the networking side.
I just create something like this:

%post

cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 <<__EOF__

...
...
...
__EOF__

ofcourse actual parameters instead of ... :-)

That's the way I create NIC bonding through kickstart.
