Networking problems

>From Suse 9.2 to 10.x I have a lot of problems with network scripts/configs,
I'm usign suse from years on servers, so it is not individual problem.
(old ones works fine, but new versions has problems)

So I can configure network cards from Yast and is OK. But after
change of kernel or replace network cards, suse cannot restart
interfaces, or cannot UP it during reboot etc. Removing
configs from yast, or /etc/sysconfig/network not helps because
suse remeber some parts of configuration.
I want to know exact place of configuration files for network and for
network hardware and maybe yast.
I want to know exact steps when networking is booting up....
