Okay, so explain this to me.  Why, in system-config-network, when I look 
at the interfaces does the box labeled 'Have Network Manager control 
Interface' (Or whatever it says, I'm not near my systems now) unchecked? 
  If NM controls them, shouldn't that box be checked?  I mean, why offer 
the options in 's-c-n' if they aren't going to be implemented?
