I've had a similar situation where I did the install of f10 (and
rawhide) with two network cards and then pulled out one of them and now
I'm seeing all sorts of weird eth1/eth0 things (which is likely what
you're talking about above)

I'm also getting issues with s-c-n tying the mac address to the config
and then having the mac address change (how, I don't know).

The r8139 thing rings bells.
