Well, the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/<whatever> is hardly the

Device files are files in the '/dev' directory. While it's true most linux
devices can be accessed as file, NICs are an exception.
I clearly gave you the solution for the path of NIC device file.
What are you trying to say now?? ;)
What I'm trying to say is the file you mentioned in your reply[1]
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/<whatever>), is the 'config' file for the NIC as
opposed to the /device/ file.
A device file has a very specific meaning in linux. A device file in linux is
something that is associated with a driver and has a major and minor number.
Please do read the wikipedia link that I sent you. Arguing about this further
undermines your credentials as a RHCE that your sig claims you are.
cheers,

[1] which you sent to my id, as opposed to the list id, which again are two
different things.
