FWIW, I found out that F21 has available NetworkManager-tui which is a curses based interface to NetworkManager.  But, it seems incomplete.  For the options associated with addresses it only has the following available....

Disabled
Automatic
Link-Local
Manual
Shared

While the GUI has

Automatic
Automatic (Only addresses)
Link-Local
Manual
Shared
Disabled

Since Automatic (Only addresses) is what gets you PEERDNS=no I suspect there is a deficiency in the command line tools.
