I think the stuff under /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ and
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default is used if present,
and the HWADDR entry is used to tie to the NIC.  Try removing
those files (save them in case I'm wrong...) along with the
HWADDR= lines from the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files for
eth0 and eth1, then reboot with the modprobe.conf entries set
the way you want.  Then you may be able to put them back in
the GUI setup with the right cards.
