Use NetworkManager. (Yes, I'm a broken record here.)
Pretty much Bill, so pray tell us when exactly will NM be ready for default deployment in Fedora like say OpenSuSE/SLED does. Untill that glorious day these concerns are perfectly valid and a perfect indicator as to just how much we need a fully functional NM implementation suitable for the core Fedora use cases.
If you want to deploy a desktop in such a configuration how does:
chkconfig --level 345 network off chckonfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
not work for you?
