With all due respect, its become clear to me that ifconfig is obsolete and a solution which uses it doesn't have a future. Can you try to get the ip address with command "ip" on a i686 and x86_64 system without having to run a different command for each?
As for the "issue", I am still hoping someone can tell me that "ip addr show" giving a different device for the static IP on x86_64 and i686 is "not right" so I can bug it with confidence that I am not making a mistake (or let me know that I am making a mistake ... with enough info that I can confirm it is a pilot error)
edit "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" (ONE LINE, replace MAC with yours)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:50:56:bd:00:27", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" __________________________
this has NOTHING to do with i686 / x86_64 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming
remove the package, edit config as statet above and that was it
