Yes, I have been able to run both NetworkManager and "the old way" at the same 
time.  Unless the ifcfg file for a device is marked NM_CONTROLLED=yes, 
NetworkManager leaves it alone and the "old" system seems to leave 
NM_CONTROLLED=yes devices alone but you can use it to manage the other 
devices.

There seems to have been a spurt of development/fix activity recently and (to 
me) NetworkManager is looking better (but still has some work to do).

The only problem I have had is that using s-c-network to turn NM_CONTROLLED on 
or off (yes or no) is NOT detected by nm-system-settings whereas using vi to 
make the change is detected.  Yes, this is bz'ed and I am waiting to see what 
the package manager/developer wants me to do ...
