That's the wrong approach (and wrong file to be editing.) Allnetwork interface (cards) configurations are in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and gateway information is set in /etc/sysconfig/network - leave ifconfig alone. :) Try my previous suggestion please.
OK, I just posted a reply to that.
Btw, I just looked (with the GUI, which seems to use gedit) at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. There *are* a bunch in there with names like ifcfg-eth0, and the one I'm looking at resembles things I've had to be walked through editing in FC3 or 4 -- with entries like DEVICE=, ONBOOT=yes, and so on. And the HWADDR= looks to be what it has always been.
