Redundant network config files?

I'm trying to debug a problem with my wireless card, and I'm getting
really annoyed by the (apparently) redundant configuration files that
the network configuration tool (system-config-network) is creating.
My wireless card is eth1, and the tool is creating the following files:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/keys-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/keys-eth1
All of the copies of ifcfg-eth1 are identical, as are all of the copies
of keys-eth1.
Can anyone tell me which files are actually used -- when I type 'ifup
eth1' for example -- and why the others exist?
Thanks!
