I would try: Stop the network service. Edit the configuration files. Start the network service.
If you're modifying the files while the service is running, it could be reverting to backups when stopping/restarting.
Looking over what he did - it seems he used network manager to config the connection (or at least edited the ifcfg files which NM owns) .. then changed them and started network service on top - so both network services are now competing which is a right old mess.
He chose to revert to f11 instead of just turning off NM for some reason ...
I think he should have turned off NM and gone about his merry way ..
But its not my machine!
Going back to F11 for now seemed better :)
