No, just two on-board wired ethernet interfaces one of which I turned
off.  That couldn't be handled with networkmanager ...

All the Fedora documentation says I shouldn't disable it, and I don't

it's a good idea to disable it or not.  Having a service running that
constantly monitors and changes the files is certainly a bad idea.
