Hosed ethernet connection

Ah the fun of living on the bleeding edge ...

I decided to play around with KDE today and to update my system in 
general, which I do every few days or so.   Imagine my surprise when all 
of a sudden eth0 cannot be activated.  I get:

root at localhost ~]# service network restart
Shutting down interface eth0:                              [  OK  ]
Shutting down interface eth1:                              [  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0...RTNETLINK answers: Network is 
unreachable
  done.
RTNETLINK answers: No such device
                                                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth1:  Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
     SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
     SET failed on device eth1 ; Device or resource busy.

Determining IP information for eth1... done.
                                                            [  OK  ]

I'm pretty certain the KDE switch had nothing to do with the problem and 
the yum update had everything to do with it.  I noticed the thread on 
glibc being an X issue but X works fine for me.  Any suggestions on 
which module to file this bug against?

Thanks,

-pmr
