It is possible to disable modem-manager (but not remove it, if you

Never do that. It won't serve the purpose since any update will pull
it right back in. If you can't remove a package because of dependency
but want to be sure to keep it disabled, use systemctl mask
<servicename.service> instead and in this case, it really shouldn't be
necessary to do that since it only gets started by NetworkManager if
you try to establish a new connection using any modem, in-built or
otherwise. It is also a very small dependency.

It doesn't work the way you described on my F17 box, that doesn't have a
modem or wireless connection. Network-manager always loads modem-manager
which loads the drivers for every modem and wireless device that it
knows about (according to the log file). I know it's small, but I'm on a
1 GB box, and besides, it just bugs me. BTW, systemctl doesn't work with
modem-manager, so masking it isn't possible.
I finally dumped network-manager and configured the network by hand.
Much better. Oh well, looking forward to F18 and different triggers for
my OCD.
Thanks,
John
