That will *probably* work. But NetworkManager and its utilities are
*NOT* your friend.

Learn to directly edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files.
You will find features that NetworkManager does not support, at least
in RHEL 5, such as setting the "SEARCH=" option for DHCP
configurations or pair-bonding or setting up network bridges for KVM
use. And you can handle backups much more consistently.
