Running through the snippets in an attempt to resolve another issue and 
I noticed the following in post_instyall_network_config

if [ -f "/etc/modprobe.conf" ] && [ $IFNAME ]; then
    grep \$IFNAME /etc/modprobe.conf | sed "s/\$IFNAME/$iname/" >> 
/etc/modprobe.conf.cobbler
    grep -v \$IFNAME /etc/modprobe.conf >> /etc/modprobe.conf.new
    rm -f /etc/modprobe.conf
    mv /etc/modprobe.conf.new /etc/modprobe.conf
fi


not sure about RHEL, but Fedora does not use modprobe.conf for this type 
of configuration. I created a similar thread with subject 'Arbitrary NIC 
naming' back on 2/24/09 according to Jasper Capel:

Modprobe.conf just isn't used for that purpose in F10 
anymore.

I'll file a bug against this as well and update this thread with the bug ID
