Try commenting out those last two lines for eth0 and eth1, and then
reboot your computer.  That may not solve your problem, but it's the
first place I would look.

Network Manager acts funny when the distro tries to do it's own
specific configuration to any of the network interfaces, and it works
the best when it's left alone.
