Well sure enough, I tried several different options in anaconda under
virtualbox and it asked me to init my nic every time. At this point I
don't know if it's a problem of using the livecd tools, which is
unlikely, or that it doesn't see the nic on my netbook, which seems
equally unlikely since I had F12 running on it quite well without any
3rd party drivers.

One thing I do know, the error message could be far more useful.

Thanks,
Richard
