Also, check to see if the hotplug daemon (ifplugd) is running --

this can get confused and keep the interface from working properly.
Yet another thing that should not be used on servers, but some
distros use it anyway.

You can keep it from running by supplying the following:

echo "MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes" >>
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

assuming your NIC is eth0.

You might want to do this for each nic card you have (eth0, eth1, ...
ethN)

This will stop ifplugd from running on that interface.
