This happened to me as well, caused by the updates a couple days ago.
Where are the ifcfg*.bak files located?

Cute indeed. :-)
AFAICS my network modules are still in place. I just restored my ifcfg*.bak files to original names, did '/etc/init.d/network restart', and I was back in business. It would be more interesting exercise if I had only a network access to a stricken box.
The symptoms that you describe are roughly similar to what would happen if you removed your network cards, booted once, and then rebooted with them in. So, the question would be why did that code trigger in your case.

You should find them in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
