networking problems after an update

[Dr. Diesel]

This happened to me as well, caused by the updates a couple days ago.

Where are the ifcfg*.bak files located?

The symptoms that you describe are roughly similar to what would
happen if you removed your network cards, booted once, and then
rebooted with them in. So, the question would be why did that
code trigger in your case.
