I haven't followed this thread too closely, so if this has already been
stated, please forgive me.
Judging from both recent editions of Fedora and the free beta RH7, you
don't HAVE to use NetworkManager. You will have to manually turn it off
and turn network on, and judging by later versions of Fedora (though not at
all deeply researched by me) you may need to use the
system-config-network-tui tool rather than just editing
/etc/sysocnfig/network/network-scripts/ifcfg-*.
Unfortunately, (and freely admitting much of this may be old person's get
of my lawn attitude), it does seem that the Fedora developers are working
for the single user laptop, and have little concept of system
administration--or, to be fair, have little interest in things for the
system administrator, and unfortunately, RedHat just throws these things
into their next enterprise version without checking.
NM is not going to go away. However, at least for RHEl7, it should be
fairly easy to remove it and use /etc/init.d/network.
