Yes, this I had already done. Networking was working; it was just applications that seem to be dependant upon NetworkManager control. >> My network is then functional, but Evolution and sometimes Firefox >> complain the network is stopped yet still enabled.

I just meant I used both "stop" and "disable". >> Any ideas of how to properly disable NetworkManager so applications >> don't stop working? > > All apps should work, regardless of NM or network.service being active, > as long as everything is configured so that the latter two don't clash > into each other. If Xorg or other things crash, it's a separate issue. We'll see if it happens again with Xorg next time I restart. Unbelievable it would seem so reliant upon NM. There are thousands of /var/spool/abrt directories, all from the same login. > Make sure that NM is masked and network.service is correctly configured > and operational.

Do you know of a doc that explains the proper way to set up NM to provide bridging for kvm and virt-manager? How do I even access the NM network management GUI from within GNOME? I really hate this new GNOME.
