IMO, Network Manager is for desktop users who may connect to the 'Net
in various ways, wired LAN, WiFi, USB data dongles (from Telcom
providers).
With bridging and bonding scenarios, it causes more heartburn than
ease of use. Server installs that I undertake personally, it is turned
OFF.
However, when I have had to service other admin's installation, for
networking issues, I turn OFF the Network Manager.
