I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get a simple two NIC bond to work. Got really odd behavior from service network restart, then finally decided to disable NetworkManager. Voila! Bonding and the network service script starts working just the way I expect.
Does anyone here actually use NetworkManager on anything but a laptop or desktop? I can't seem to figure out a reason to use it on a server.
I never use NetworkManager on CentOS-5 or CentOS-6 with static IPs ... but that is more a personal preference than for any other reason.
I basically only use NetworkManager on wireless laptops that are mobile because it is very easy to get an IP or connect to the VPNs I need from many different places. But I am a salty old dog .. and you know what they say about teaching us new tricks :D
