I'm not seeing this problem (at least not to date).

Do you have HWADDR lines in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*?
If not, open system-config-network, select each interface and edit it, 
select the Hardware tab on the pop-up window, click Probe, then close that 
window and save the results.

Let us know if that helps.
