The GUI approach is to go to System->Administration->Network and edit
the nicknames of NICs. In my case I changed "eth0.bak" to "lan" and
"eth1.bak" to "wan" because my eth0 card is connected to local network
and eth1 card to the Internet.

It looks like kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 either named ifcfg-ethx in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to ifcfg-ethx.bak - and refused to
activate anything ".bak" at boot - or just erroneously tries to use
nicknames of NICs instead of the usual ifcfg-ethx files.

In any case, my both network cards now get activated at boot which was
not the case after updating to 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 -kernel.

Now, if only the GUI would show the proper card in "Physical device" tab
instead of showing them interchanged - but that's another story.

BR, Antti
