This connection is a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet card that I added to the machine.  There was no ifcfg-eth1 for it and was working fine for a couple days.

I created an ifcfg-eth1 and used ifup eth1 to bring up the network.  With ifcfg-eth1 present, NM is able to activate the network.

Downgraded dhclient but same behavior.

Downgraded NM and it is now able to activate "Auto eth1" automatically again.
