NetworkManager is utterly useless for server grade work, such as pair
bonding and bridges. It may be helpful for wireless management or
modem connections, but I find it safer to to rip it *out* on CentOS 4
and CentOS 5, and urge turning it off by whatever means are feasible
for RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 when it comes out.
