Your question took me by surprise because I never considered it part of 
GS, but, I am likely uninformed in this matter, so, I poked around. You 
might want to skim the first two sections here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings

and read this

https://wiki.gnome.org/NetworkManagerConfiguration

If I wanted to disable my network, I would either go to my network 
settings (by clicking on an icon in the upper right corner of my Fedora 
screen), or, I would drop to a command line and run something like:

ifconfig  - to see the status of things
ifdown   - to stop a particular interface (such as eth0)
ifup       - to start a particular interface

I might also need to start/stop services such as dhcpd or named.

That said, if I use "cat /etc/resolv.conf", it states that it was 
created by NetworkManager
