Can you show a usage of bringing up/down the network?
With this in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
That does mean that ifupdown is not in charge .. right?

It seems not to work here. For example:
Man page shows
nmcli con list (to get a list of CONFIGURED connections;
wrapped for mail):
NAME UUID
Wired connection 1 897c8cd7-b708-4ee4-9123-fcb6d7917edd
TYPE TIMESTAMP-REAL
802-3-ethernet Fri 28 Oct 2011 04:28:21 AM CDT
Ok fine... so far, but then:
nmcli con down uuid 897c8cd7-b708-4ee4-9123-fcb6d7917edd
Warning: Connection not active

Huh? Supposedly all connections were listed in the `list' cmd.
We've taken the exact UUID shown and yet are told that connection is
not in use... but no others are listed.
And then (wrapped for mail):
nmcli nm status
RUNNING STATE WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI
running disconnected enabled enabled
WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN
enabled disabled
But of course, I am live:
ping -c1 google.com

Is there no sure file and simple way to bring a network up/down?
