I end up disabling NetworkManager because is has no ability to white-list
interfaces and I only would want it messing with the one 'management'
network interface on the system..not the others that I do my own special
network configuration upon.

I read this, and option 2 to disable it is what I tried.

There is no particular reason for it to have trouble renaming the
interfaces to ethX, it might just have to do a ethY.rename naming
first.  udev has been dealing with this for many years successfully,
at least up to Fedora 17.

Thanks,
