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.

Three or four of five times I tried using it and every time it messed things up much more than it helped. And each time, after a bit more investigation and playing around with configuration files, I got things to work without using NM. So I don't use it anymore... and don't recommend it to anyone else.
