yes. All of them.
Network interfaces are e1000.
I had 2 of 12 machines lose their config. One had eth0-eth3 and the
other had eth0 and eth1. It sounds suspiciously like this might be
related to having multiple interfaces configured, as none of the single
interface machines failed, nor did the ones where only eth0 was
activated at boot time.

The e1000 driver recently split into 2 different parts (I could wrong on the
exact details of what happened-it looks like it split in 2.6.23) one part called
e1000 (pci/pci-x) and one part called e1000e (pcie), and there appears to be a
lot of changes being done on the e1000 interface after that change, which could
probably change the order of the interfaces and which would confuse the new
hardware configuration tool and/or the current configuration and make it do bad
things because of the order changing around in an unexpected way.
