Don't you mean deliberately configure network manager to be NOT managing
an interface that it doesn't actually manage?

If it's currently configured, even if not used, to say that network
manager handles eth0, for example, then if network manager hasn't
brought up eth0, network manager will say that eth0 is down, no matter
what the real status of eth0 is (as network manager's statuses are
notifications of what *it* has done, rather than what the interface's
real status is), and regardless of whether network manager is suppose to
be running or not.

On the other hand, if network manager is configured to not manage eth0,
then any query about its status shouldn't return an answer.

At least, that's been my prior experience with avoiding network manager
on one machine.
