About kickstart 'network --device=MAC'

Hi,

RHEL5 and RHEL6 recognizes nic in different order, I think using MAC
address may avoid potential trouble.  I  tried 'network --device=MAC
address' in kickstart file but anaconda complains that device
'00:21:28:A5:69:62' cannot be found on the system, I also tried lower
case, no luck.  If I change all MAC address to eth0, eth1 and eth2,
the installation goes fine.

Anaconda is 11.1.2 in RHEL5,  Kickstart version is 'RHEL5', generated
by pykickstart:

Any idea?
