Why is the network manager going crazy and doesn't stick with the

down because /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten causes very

Do you have a wireless interface? Setting up a wireless connection can
modify /etc/resolv.conf.
No, just two on-board wired ethernet interfaces one of which I turned
off. That couldn't be handled with networkmanager ...
That's odd, as /etc/resolv.conf should only change when your network
changes. Typically that would be when a new connection is made or one is
shut down. Do you have anything odd with DHCP on your network? Are there
any issues with your cables?
All the Fedora documentation says I shouldn't disable it, and I don't
know well enough yet how things are done in Fedora to decide whether
it's a good idea to disable it or not. Having a service running that
constantly monitors and changes the files is certainly a bad idea.
Well, if you disble network manager, you will need to enable network or
you network interfaces won't be set up. So you can't just blindly disable it.
For now the network service will do what you want.
