Thanks, Tony, but after 'chkconfig network off' and a reboot, I get: # /sbin/service NetworkManager status NetworkManager (pid 2332) is running... # /sbin/service network status Configured devices: lo eth0 Currently active devices: lo eth0 vmnet8 vmnet1 # Apparently, both NetworkManager and network are simultaneously on.
