My experiences are identical - static networking is extremely unwell for
the FC10 release right now.

Something (system-config-network ?) is setting the NETMASK value to
the value entered for NETWORK.  system-config-network also terminates
with an exception when I try to enable MTU and set to 1492 (I'm on DSL).

One must manually change the /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices files to
restore normal operation.

I have installed FC10 on 2 machines this weekend, one X64 (upgrade from
FC8) and one i386 (fresh install on new 1 TB drive) with the same results.
I am setting them up with static networking as both are intended to host
both BIND and DHCP servers.  The X64 machine was fine running the default
NetworkManager configuration while the i386 provided those services under
FC8, but immediately failed this way when set to static addressing to act
as interim server.

After much frustration, the X64 machine was operational enough to commence
the i386 install - which immediately failed the same way when networking
services were changed to swap NetworkManager out for Network and to
set eth0 to static IP values.

It is very frustrating for such a basic/critical service fails so badly!
