Hmm. Did you try simply excluding NetworkManager? I've found it to be
a maintenance nightmare with unannounced and unplanned changes,
interfering with normal DHCP operations, standard server
configurations, and VPN setups haphazardsly. Ripping it out entirely
is one of my favorite steps for stabilizing a server or desktop setup.

It can have its uses in laptop or traveling configurations but it's
hardly worth for anything but a frequently laptop with multiple
network setups in the same physical locaitons.
