For example, I think there are ways to tell NM not to mess with a specific interface setting, and maybe a way to say you don't want it to screw up your resolv.conf file,
I don't mind NM editing resolv.conf if it knows - or even thinks it knows - how to improve on the current settings, but what I don't understand is why it occasionally deletes the current settings without substituting anything else. I can't imagine any situation where this would help? Maybe the present settings are defective in some way; but no settings cannot possibly be better.
Having said all that, in my case NM has been working perfectly for over a year now. But I can't forgive it for the hours I wasted on it in the past.
However, I would never run NM on a server, by which I mean a machine that offers services like dhcp and http.
