Why do you want to start it again by "net-start" > when it's already not started along with libvirtd? :-) I want the network to start automatically with libvirtd but "without" dnsmasq. I haven't say anything about starting it with net-start. I've just put those two commands to show you that merely starting the netwrok "causes" dnsmasq to start too, hence I had talked about the thing being hardcoded.
