AFAIK /etc/sysconfig/networking/* is only used by system-config-network, you can define "profiles" and then switch from one to the other, and system-config-network copies (or hardlinks?) the relevant parts to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Note that lots of stuff in /etc/sysconfig/networking are hardlinks to files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or /etc (eg hosts and resolv.conf on my system here), they're not actually different files. Just avoid system-config-network and configure stuff yourself in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and /etc/sysconfig/network, and you'll be fine.
