In your pxelinux config file:

add ksdevice=bootif

also add "IPAPPEND 2" to the end of the file

In your kickstart file, don't specify a device:
  "network --bootproto dhcp"

yeah, it can be a bit daunting at first, but the below info is right. also consider down the road if you are using PXE/DHCP that there can be conflicts, so PXE to eth0, kickstart to eth1, that sort of thing.

PXE begins the install with DHCP, so Kickstart should already know which of
eth0, eth1, etc. to use.

add ksdevice=eth0 to your kernel parameters, or eth1 if you want
to use eth1. This works for me anyways.

--device=

Used to select a specific Ethernet device for installation.

Note that using --device= will not be effective unless the kickstart file is a local file (such as ks=floppy), since the installation program will configure the network to find the kickstart file. For example:

network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0
