This is exactly what I do on non-laptops. But I find NM useful for WiFi sometimes so I keep it installed...but now it seems it's becoming very difficult to just temporarily configure an interface that won't be touched when I plug/unplug a cable or whatnot. Really, there should be a better way that turning off every network service and script for the 5 minutes I want this. I have other machines, etc. and this is rawhide, but it's also the future.
