Matt,
Didn't you tell us a few months ago about a bug/feature where the NIC
wasn't properly detected during installation, and because the HWADDR did
not get added correctly, kudzu might be coming up with "re-creating" the
interface?
You mention having the latest initscripts, but perhaps if he is
installing original FC6 versus the Unity respin?
Or perhaps the OP's "editing" (wasn't it in a kickstart) is eradicating
something?
Anyway, just tossing some things in to the mix....
