you may want to add "nicdelay=40 linksleep=30" to you kernel command
line.

I didn't see that in any of your posts so I thought I'd mention it.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189795

Note: you can add these to your ifcfg-eth0 conf file as well
# No portfast, wait 30s
LINKDELAY=30
# DISABLE stupid ZeroConf address
NOZEROCONF=1


I've been on this list for a long time and been quite mostly but this is
a long thread and I thought I would hop in share my thoughts with the
rest of the Internet as well :)

I'm not calling your networking team a liar, but in the same effect, you
appear to be experiencing an issue where linkdelay and nicdelay my come
in handy for you (works for both static and dhcp)
