Not to start a holy war, here, but it is never a better idea to use 
Linuxconf.  Red Hat is deprecating it from their distribution, mainly due to 
the user complaints, which have stemmed from Linuxconf's propensity to 
overwrite certain customized configuration files with whatever it felt like 
using.

The previously mentioned editing of the ifcfg-eth<x> files is really the 
better option.
