I think you might extend this further to check for any sort of network
management daemon:
ps aux | grep -iE 'dhcp|pump|network|manage'
Also, take a look for 'eth0' in the output of dmesg, also in
/var/log/messages (and possibly elsewhere in /var/log)
If that doesn't work, a rather brute force approach may help:
grep -inr '192.168.1.122' /etc /var/log
