What type of network connection do you have, wifi, ethernet, static IP,
DHCP?

FWIW, I cannot reproduce your problem.
Shutting down NM will keep the network up here, for both wireless and
wired connections.
If I start NM again, it can pick up the state of the ethernet interface.
For wireless interfaces, it will re-initialize the connection, so you
can have a short downtime here.

Can you also send me a debug log of NetworkManager [1].
When you run service network-manager stop, what is the output of
nm-tool and route.
