Ah, the options line. Might be worth filing an RFE on Bugzilla or

If that's your preference, then you should certainly avoid
NetworkManager and NetworkManager should certainly be able to play nice
with you (at least IMHO). The network service and including
NM_CONTROLLED="no" in the appropriate ifcfg-xxx file ought to work the
way you want. If it doesn't, then it would be most useful for you to
file bugs. If you have NM_CONTROLLED="no" and you still have the
problem, it's possible that the network service is causing your problem,
not NetworkManager.
One thing is, I don't think system-config-network knows how to handle
all the wireless security modes. It also doesn't have space for options
for resolv.conf.
Ah, but my LAN is wired as far as NetworkManager is concerned. As I
said I just use it because it's there in the installed system.
Everything connects to the wireless LAN via "Ethernet Bridges." Once
configured for the network you can put them anywhere in range of the
router and just plug in a computer, printer, TV camera, whatever, it
looks like a wired network.
The old system-config-network was better for my purposes but
attempts to remove NM have caused extremely long "boot" times each
time I've tried that. It would increase from the present thirty
seconds or so to several minutes. I shut down at night and if I
only reboot once it's a minor annoyance but if I do something that
requires a reboot it becomes a major pain! That's probably the real
reason I still use NM, the removal is messy.
Also, there may be other commands that can be added to the ifcfg-xxx
file. Not sure where that's documented, but I see lots of options in
the various WiFi-network-specific ifcfg-xxx files
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
