It may be an old subject, but you might want to refresh your information.  NetworkManager can be driven over ssh in text mode *now*, no GUI required.  Configuration can still be in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, and you can even put directives in those scripts to tell NM to not manage that connection at all.

And my remark about an old codebase is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, relative to the 48GB being large for SLC5.6 made earlier, in a different thread..... :-)
