It could well be NM.  Can you grab your /var/log/messages and attach it
to a bug that you file for the issue?

Right, that's the ifup scripts saying that for whatever reason, NM's
system settings plugin that handles ifcfg files (ifcfg-rh) has some
error parsing that file.  The contents of /var/log/messages should show
us what that problem is.

Coudl you paste the contents into the bug report too?

It's probably not PK, likely an issue in ifcfg parsing or some other
problem.
