so that _all_ point of confusion are clarified;

   1  - networking working
         /etc/sysconfig/
            network

   2  - wpa_supplicant [if using w-fi]
         /etc/sysconfig/
            wpa_supplicant

   3a - wired  [if using wired]
         /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
           ifup-eth

   3b  - wi-fi  [if using wi-fi]
          /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
            ifcfg-wlanx

iirc, all 4 is how i go about it. ;=)
