[Users] NIC problem with ovirt node

I've just installed my first ovirt node using the 2.6.1 image.
I have 5 network interfaces in the machine .. ovirt sees them as:

em1, em2, em3, em4, and rename6!

That last one seems a little odd, but that's a different issue, I 
guess.  From dmesg..

What IS a big deal is that every time I configure one network interface, 
the others go back to "unconfigured".  I'm told this is because I should 
only configure one on the ovirt-node, and then use the engine to 
configure the rest.  Okay -- does it say that somewhere that I missed? 
:)   but when I'm in the engine, I can click on the node, and see that 
it's up.  I can click on network interfaces, and see that one is up, and 
the other are down.  I can create networks on the engine, and I can 
assign the nodes interfaces to those networks, but for the life of me, I 
can't figure out where I assign an IP to the nodes interfaces!!   
Surely, the place to do that would be under the "Host" tab, yet it 
doesn't seem to be there...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jason.
