NetworkManager does not (as far as I know) use ifcfg files unless you select "Available for all users" checkbox, but rather keeps interface data somewhere inside $HOME directory (.gconf subdirectory maybe) in unreadable format for humans.
Is this true? I have the impression that NM takes note of NM_MANAGED=yes or no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 (or whatever). So I assume from this that NM must read these files.
Somewhere on the net, undefined time ago (last 2-3 months?) I was asked same question and I investigated on my laptop that has NetworkManager service enabled. But I can not remember when/where I posted results. I think it was in "Linux" Facebook group but search gives nothing.
Do not take my word for it, create NM connection and observe what is happening. And I will run my laptop tomorrow and see if I wrote the search results somewhere.
