Network Manager Only Allows 1 connection only

[JohnMinson]

all I want to do is add a second(static) ip (device alias 1) to my 
interface in addition to the dhcp address all ready being procured .
I can find no combinations of 'Network Manager' settings that allows 
this to happen .
If I plumb the interface manually after "Network Manager' is finished 
initializing it works fine .
If I turn off NM I get this in the log
   "localhost nm-system-settings:    ifcfg-rh: Ignoring connection 
'System eth0 ' and its device because NM_CONTROLLED was false."
   "localhost nm-system-settings:    ifcfg-rh: Ignoring connection 
'System eth0:1' and its device because NM_CONTROLLED was false."

this should not be this difficult
