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!
