I fiddled with the 
NM_CONTROLLED (seems to have no effect) and
ONBOOT (seems wrong for an alias, but it keeps getting readded)
variables, but that didn't help.

This is a very simple network setup. Since my ISP, in their infinite wisdom,
likes to give me DHCP addresses in different networks(!), causing all 
traffic to go via them ,(Hello Cablecom! CaseID 1970915) I have the aliases
set up so I can sanely move stuff around internally.


Workaround is to 
chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig network on
