Yep, looks sane. If you don't need IPv6 you may wish to
consider setting NETWORKING_IPV6=no; this won't remove
kernel support but it will prevent IPv6 addresses from
being added and such.

Have you double checked the HWADDR to ensure that it's correct?
This is very straight forward and should be working fine; the
only possible issue I see is if HWADDR is incorrect and if that
is the case then it would definately cause ifup and friends to
fail.
