NM will look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for ifcfg files that are there, and use those if found. However, the files must not have NM_CONTROLLED=no in them, because that tells NM not to manage the interface. At least at one point, system-config-network would add NM_CONTROLLED=no by default when it edited a configuration that didn't have that tag in it already, which caught a few people by surprise.
