Thanks.
While sysconfig.txt gives interesting information
on possible Wireless options in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<if>
it doesn't really say anything about how system-config-network works,
or what one can enter when editing the various fields.

I was interested in the claim that someone had successfully renamed
their interfaces to lan and wan.
This seems to me to suggest that system-config-network
must somehow interact with udev.

I guess as has been suggested to me
that the only way to see how system-config-network works
may be to look at the source code.
