First, stop using kcontrol. I have a feeling its screwing something
somewhere in a linuxconf fasion.
Second, check messages for any errors, such as IO or IRQ conflicts.
Then, verify that both neccesary modules are loaded (lsmod).
Stop the network service (service network stop).
Inspect /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* &
/etc/sysconfig/network
Whatever is wrong is somewhere above.
