And last but not least if you are truly adventurous grab

It is a bunch of scripts that you can add to
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/  that can turn on and off Network
Services.  From the list of services you still have enabled it would
include sshd, avahi, rpc*.  Disable those in chkconfig and allow
NetworkManagerDispatcher enable and disable them.  If you only use
networked cups printers you can add that one also.
