    As expected the NetworManager is in the kernel after the boot. The 
chkconfig filename on is a "works every time" device. For some reason if 
you do it to the actual file in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ it no longer works. I 
tried ./filename start and that turns it on now but only once.

    Now to take it out of this computer.
