I've found "yum erase NetworkManager" to be remarkably effective on
RH/Centos/Fedora boxen. The only problem with that is the unreasonable
dependencies that modern distributions seem to have[1]. I find that
sooner or later, something I want pulls in NetworkManager for no
apparently good reason. At which point, just disabling it with ntsysv
seems to do the trick.

[1] And it's getting worse. If the trend continues, I'll be abandoning
the Red Hat world for something sane (which also rules out Debian or
Ubuntu FWIW). At the moment, it's just about bearable. But there seems
to be no desire to fix the problem, which is worrying.
