For clarification, I usually do have NM_CONTROLLED set for every
interface, except on laptops. In this case, I just wanted to instead
turn off NetworkManager and configure the interface manually. I see no
reason why it shouldn't be possible to tell a system service to stop and
expect it to stay stopped until I turn it back on again. That way, I can
tell NM to shutdown, do something I need to do, then get the prettified
laptop experience back again when I'm done (on the netbook).

This was all to tftp various firmwares over to routers I was playing
with over the weekend. Soldering surface mount bits, placing wires, and
poking at serial consoles and firmware setup was trivial. The hardest
bit was telling a system service to stay stopped :)
