Description of problem:

Using a Fedora 14 Alpha "netinst" CD I am unable to perform a network installation: anaconda seems to be unable to configure the NIC.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
14.15


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the netinst cd;
2. Choose language/keyboard layout as usual;
3. When prompted, choose "URL" installation method;
4. In the following dialog disable IPv6 and set IPv4 to "Manual configuration";
5. Fill the form;
6. Wait for NM to configure the network interface. At some point it will show some garbage on the screen and then show a failure dialog.
  

Actual results:
A quick look at the message console shows that NM is trying to use DHCP to configure the network interface.


Expected results:
NIC correctly configured.


Additional info:
I'm attaching pictures of the various ttys and terse+verbose output of "lspci"
