I dont think that you read it correctly.
This install did not detect my nic at first, it only detected my nic
when I booted with:
install interface=eth1
Which I dont believe should be necessary.
No, the "interface=eth1" option does not have _any_ effect on
detection of
NICs, only on which one is _used_.
So, unless you can point us to a real problem with NIC detection/
selection
during your initial install, there is no problem as far as we can
tell.

So I wonder why it detected the wrong one, when I only have one nic.

Does looking closely at what Phill supplied for his original report
help any?:

I'm not enough of a PCI hardware guru to know if this is going to be
recognized as a NIC. Anybody else?
Also, I saw a bunch of PCI bridges and so on. Is is possible that
the NIC is on the far side of one of them and that's confusing the
issue? Or am I talking total nonsense?
Just a thought...
