    I decided to disable NetworkManager on another F17/64 bit computer,
    did "yum install system-config-network." There was no problem with
    long boot times, 45 seconds on a slower computer, the boot process
    goes smoothly with no hitches where it stops and waits for something
    to time out.

    I find Yumex convenient at times, mainly for it's list of available
    app's.  Yumex would not connect until I yum removed NetworkManager?
    I don't know what else it may have caused problems with.

    Systemctl status network.service still works but that is the only
    one of those, start, restart, etc. Fail. It is convenient to have
    the NetworkManager icon where the connection can be controlled,
    sometimes I want to disconnect from the internet. Now all there is
    is the Network Control gui for that, inconvenient to use

    Just my observations at this point.
