This is a hard question to answer. network uses the ifcfg-x files
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
NM spreads the information over a collection of programs. wpa-client,
dns, dhclient,nm-applet and their associated config files which are
automatically created.

Truthfully, I am not sure where all the configurations are stored
however in trying to answer one of your previous questions (I don't
blame you). I wish I knew how I did it. One problem is I knew where
these were in previous versions of Fedora but I can't find it in F9.

I am not sure that the other responses to your question on the list make
it any clearer.
