Hi Fabian and Sven, and others,
In the end, I followed Sven's advice and installed my nodes with a
minimal 6.4 CentOs and :
- contrary to ovirt node fc version, it installed
- contrary to ovirt node el version, I had no network setting issue : my
manual or web-graphical settings are accepted and persistent across reboot.
Fabian, your question is the right one : what are the actions when
previous network settings are there?

could you provide the log files given in
http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Troubleshooting#Log_Files
so we get more information about what's happening in the background

Alon,
can you say how vdsm/engine is handling pre-existing bonds and bridges
(aka bonds and bridges created by nodes TUI before the registration)
after the registration?
