Forgive me, but what is the desired outcome of your configuration?
Hopefully you can achieve that without having to invoke
system-config-network.

System-config-network is (mostly) for dealing with the old "network"
service.  NetworkManager has it's own config integrated to the applet
that will allow you do to things such as setup (multiple) static
configurations for your wired or wireless interfaces and choose between
them on the fly using the applet, as well as have one system config that
is applied at boot time (not after login, at boot time).
