Mine looks like this:
(bullwinkle pts8) # chkconfig --list NetworkManager; chkconfig --list network
NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
(bullwinkle pts8) #
If I set the network to off, when I reboot the machine, the rpc and nfs stuff
fails to start and I still do not get NM after boot. Starting NM after I login
gets the wireless to work.
Any other ideas?

Tom
