F-9's NetworkManager refuses to believe that you don't want its
services: even after "sudo /sbin/chkconfig NetworkManager off", it
overwrites /etc/resolv.conf during boot with figments of its imagination.
(I'd be interested to know exactly where that's happening BTW; the file
timestamp suggests it's being done during kernel start, which I
sincerely hope isn't the case.)

I considered "rpm -e NetworkManager" but bz #351101 suggests that that
would probably break my system even worse.  My current workaround is
to do this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

# gross workaround for NetworkManager brain death
rm /etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/resolv.conf.manual /etc/resolv.conf
