For the cases where you need to do advanced configuration, and
NetworkManager can't handle it, you can turn it off and use the old
network service.  It's a lot easier for the class of folks that need
this to do it, than for the class of folks who need easy to use casual
networking to work easily for them to switch off 'network' and turn on
'NetworkManager'.
