I'm not sure I understand what your issue is.

'network' is basically legacy system used on Fedora to manage networks. It 
manages devices described in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
It has  nothing to do with NetworkManager.

NetworkManager is a newer service to manage networks and is meant to replace 
'network'. (It can also work with /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ configurations 
via ifcfg-rh plugin).

You should decide which one to use.

'restart' parameter to the service means 'stop' followed by 'start' in both 
cases.

Sorry, if I didn't get the point; try to be more specific.
