If you want to leave network and NetworkManager enabled on boot, you could set "ONBOOT=no" in your ifcfg-Auth-eth0 file. I believe ONBOOT is only used by the network service and "NM_CONTROLLED" is used by NetworkManager. I'm fairly certain that if ONBOOT=no, NetworkManager will still try to enable the interface depending on the GUI settings.
