The fix was to edit /etc/modprobe.conf and remove the trailing whitespace from the options line. If you have been using system-config-network lately, whenever you save, it rewrites /etc/modprobe.conf and adds a space to the end of all options lines. Obviously, some (all?) modules don't parse the options correctly if there is extra trailing whitespace (which seems like a bad situation). Anyway, there is a bugzilla entry on the system-config-network: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=146291 Jonathan
