Because the F19 fresh installation you made aligns the system
files, not user's.

Even if the MAC did not changed, F19 changed interface names:

Since you preserved the user configuration from F17, that is
set for the "old" interface names.  Thus, your network manager
is not finding the new ones, unless you manually check for
and fix the mismatches.
