Files in /sysconfig/networking/profiles/ are not hardlinks. As the last
name suggests, those are files from Profiles. And using "ll" command is
blinding you. If you use "ls -lR /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/* :
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default:

Both C5 and C6 have "network" service able to create and switch to
multiple profiles. For example, switching to profile "WiFiKuca" is done
with:
"system-config-network-cmd -p WiFiKuca -a"
In sub-directories of /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/ are stored
originals of your configuration, and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ has
only files from current active profile.
