No knowledge here... RTFScriptsDown/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is not 
quite so catchy, I agree :-)  The docs for RHEL on the Redhat site are 
really really good though and probably do cover it.

However I do know that when doing dirty hacks by hand or by script, 
targeting /etc/sysconfig/networking/device/*, rather than any 
aliases/profile entires gives the right result for immediate ifup and on 
reboot in my experience.
