I'd recommend the same treatment for network manager as we used for sendmail all those years back: # yum -y remove NetworkManager

And then configure your network the old, verified, stable and trusted way, by editing the ifcfg files. The whole idea of having something running on a *server* that can change your networks settings for whatever reason is horribly wrong.

great. how do I do dhcp (client) without NetworkManager ? Most all my lab servers are configured via DHCP reservations.

and where IS the docs on what-all goes in ifcfg-eth0 or whatever now days? again, the RHEL6 manuals seem to skip over these details.
