appears NetworkManager is pretty aggressive...

Packager    : Fedora Project

Summary     : Network connection manager and user applications
Description :
NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available
at all
times.  It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not
intended for
usage on servers.   The point of NetworkManager is to make networking
configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible.  If using
DHCP,
NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP
addresses
from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

After you disable and stop NetworkManager & Dispatcher, simply do

service network restart

and I would think that the manual settings should take effect
