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

It's probably not hurting things.

I agree that there might be a limited number of endusers renaming interfaces, but we are installing systems in a VM (Qemu) and would like to rename the guest interfaces to match the underlying bridge they are using.

The usage of modprobe.conf over udev rules prevents this from happening during a cobbler/koan install.

Another issue that I noticed today is that no matter what I try / do the nic being created for the VM is always the hypervisor default. Tried everything to get cobbler to build out the proper xml to have a virtio or e1000 module used.
