Take it easy, it's just a common thing, as root run: chkconfig network on service network start The first one will make sure that the network service starts every time you boot the machine && the second will start it immediately if you haven't done so. A few years ago I myself get rid of Network Manager & used only the iwconfig tool ( I wrote down a little script) to connect to my home && work. Right now is more reliable so I don't know what could be your scenario. Regarding system-config-services don't worry about it. Use chkconfig it's simple, faster && more reliable. Just read man 8 chkconfig and you'll get it in no time.
