odd, the RHEL6 docs say that file should be in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and that the files in 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices shouldn't be messed with

etc etc (these are all links off that first page, or each other)

on that 3rd link, note the last thing on the page about 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/... being deprecated.

hmm, when you configured it with the GUI, did you set that eth0 
connection to 'Manual' ?


btw re your other question about gateway, there should be ONE global 
default route to the internet regardless of the interface.
