Hello,
After some intense investigation, I believe our best plan for 
NetworkManager on SL 50, 51, and 52 is to downgrade their NetworkManager 
to the original version that came with the respective releases.
In order to downgrade in a nice manner, the rpm names are going to have 
to be a little long, and there are going to be two of them.
0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4 - for SL50 and 51 - really version 0.6.4
0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4 - for SL52 - really version 0.6.4 that came with SL52
If anyone has a better naming scheme that works, or has any better ideas 
on how to fix all the problems the update caused, please let me know.

To test

SL50, SL51, SL52
-------
     yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update NetworkManager\*
     (Note: This will install the version for SL52)

or you can download rpm's by hand at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/i386/NetworkManager/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/x86_64/NetworkManager/

SL50 and 51
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4.x86_64.rpm

SL52
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4.x86_64.rpm

Thanks
Troy
