Thanks for this posting.  Something clicked for me when I read it and I 
removed all
the NetworkManager stuff.  I'll occasionally get the network not coming 
up on reboot
or timing out waiting for the network, that never used to happen. 
Had a problem with a second ethernet card existing as a phantom after I 
removed it. 
Little irritations, easily remedied and then passed by.  But it used to 
be so reliable, it was forgettable.
Maybe this will bring that back.

If it doesn't, easy enough to reinstall NetworkManager.

I think you meant   yum remove NetworkManager   ,  erase is for RPM.
