It feels to me like many problems I've had with networking have come down to the fact that the configuration is in multiple places: modprobe.conf, hwconf, network-scripts, sysconfig/networking; it doesn't seem that well-defined how it all works... maybe I'm just dense though. One policy we might try to get closer to: clearly split autogenerated information from manually-edited information, and machine-readable information from human-only information such as scripts.
