Ian,

I am looking at the docs and have not seen how to get a USB network adapter
to be recognized at installation time. Do you know how to do this? I 
have a trendnet et100
device (usb network adapter) that linux supports. I wish to just disable 
the onboard network,
use the usb NIC to do my install, and yum udpates, then re-enable the 
onboard NIC.

My issue is I cannot get the usb NIC to be recognized at installation time?
Is that possible?

Jerry
