A reason why I avoid NetworkManager since long (this has lead me
towards a leaner system overall ;-)

But one neat (and often forgotten) tool to debug the situation
"something is messing with a file and I don't know who does what
when" is chattr: just set the immutable attribute on the file
(sudo chattr -i <path to file>) and wait until the perpetrator
falls flat on its face (possibly complaining loudly).

Sometimes this even "fixes" the problem (for some dubious value
of "fixing", granted -- but in a pinch...)
