From what I saw with my very crude (big club) debug instrumentation in 
ifcfg-defora/plugin.c, s-c-network is modifying the file 
in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ with hardlinks 
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ 
and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/

I assume there can be other profiles (never used this feature myself) but I 
would assume that they also have hardlinks to .../networking/devices/
