In previous Ubuntu versions you used to be able to start the network installation using DHCP, and then switch over to a static network configuration in your kickstart file, with a line like:
== network --bootproto=static --ip=1.2.3.4 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=1.2.3.1 --nameserver=8.8.8.8 --hostname=dhcpunit ==
However in Ubuntu 11.10 that does not seem to work, and it is still using DHCP after installation.
