You can find the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. But you 
also have to change a couple of services. By default, NetworkManager
runs at boot, and does not bring up the network interfaces until you 
log into the GUI. If you use the network service instead, it will 
bring up the network on boot instead.

chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig network on

If you want to change them before you reboot, run:

service NetworkManager stop
service network start
