possibly is a bug worth reporting but I think it's easily fixed.

If you open system-config-network, select your primary NIC and choose
'Edit' you can uncheck the box called 'Controlled by NetworkManager' and
check the box 'Activate device when computer starts'

At that point, you run the commands...

chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig network on

and you should be good at next bootup.

If you prefer not using GUI tools, the file we are editing is likely

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and the values we are changing...

ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
