Ran 'chkconfig' etc.. It reports everything at every run level is off.

So I can safely say it is not having an effect on anything and that any
issues lie elsewhere.  The following question is just a 'by-the-way'
curiosity.

So why can't I get rid of 'network' entirely?  I understand that
'network' is not an application to be removed, but something is sticking
it in the list of services.  With NetworkManager running, 'network' is
not a service I need.  So why confuse the issue?
