You said, "One wold assumme if yo are using 'service network start' you
are not using NM".

Now, I've been known to misinterpret statements, but to me this seems to
be saying that if one uses "service network restart" then they can't be
using NM.  I took it to mean you were doubting that I was using NM.  If
that is not what you were saying...well there was no need for me to say
what I did.

So, we don't disagree.   There are simply 2 ways to accomplish the same
thing.   Or, at least what I want to accomplish.

And, just to reiterate, I wasn't trying to disprove anything you said. 
I was only trying to prove what I said I did and to prove what my
configuration was since it was my interpretation that doubt was being
cast upon my statements.

Bottom line....  One can use "service network restart" when using NM if
one wants to.  One can also use "service NetworkManager restart".  If
anything I choose to use the former since network is 7 keystrokes and
NetworkManager 14 plus it involves the use of the shift key, and it does
what I want and what I expect of it.  I certainly hope nobody would take
issue with that.  Besides, isn't Linux all about choice?  :-)
