[Novalug] NetworkManager clobbers resolv.conf

If you can't easily remove NetworkManager, you can ask nm to not take
control of an interface by setting NM_CONTROLLED=no in your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-DEVICE file on Red Hat like systems.

I recall having a bunch of systems where I needed to keep it installed to
satisfy a dependency, but I didn't want it to do anything.

I believe the 'allow-hotplug' stanza in /etc/network/interfaces can do
similar things on Debian-derived systems, but I haven't tested it much.
