Just write a little hook which tries to load all network card drivers
and then look if new cards are detected. What about:

for driver in `ls /lib/modules/2.2.19/net/*` ; do
  modprobe $driver
  # test if new ethernet device is found; use ifconfig or dmesg,...
done

Sine the bootptab is located on the install server, it's impossible to
change a file from an install server. What about collecting MAC
addresses on this floppy ?
