What always drove me nuts about NetworkManager was that when I disabled
it, it wouldn't stay disabled. It would fail to set up the network,
I'd shut it off and configure my network settings by hand, and
everything would work fine for about 2 minutes. Then NetworkManager
would come back to life and change the settings back to the broken state.

The only way I was able to stop it was by uninstalling NetworkManager
and the things that depend on it.
