Yes, unfortunately.
It is possible for the 'network' service and the 'NetworkManager' service to co-exist, but every update is hit and miss.
On my performance laptop I use a bridge for eth0 so that when I am at my desk working KVM works well. I also allow NetworkManager to control the wireless card so when I am traveling and not working on VMs, the wireless works like it should.
In the config files for the bridge and wired ethernet, I use NM_CONTROLLED="no" to prevent NetworkManager from messing with them.
However, a recent update broke it again so I am upgrading to F17 today to test this issue (and others).
Good Luck!
