Hi, I have the same network cards and had the same problem. For me I finally fixed it by nuking /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, /etc/modprobe.conf, and rebooting (I think) I also had to blow away the existing network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[01] I think. Anyway, basically rebooting with all the old cruft removed seemed to fix it. It's still a bug, I'm just giving you a workaround. You might save the old cruft for bug report purposes.
