Erm. While I read your words.. I wonder why I have 'NetworkManager' and
'network' started ('NetworkManagerDispatcher' disabled), and I'm able to
switch between wired and wireless networks w/o problem (tried in several
locations). Is there a doc that explain the difference and combinations to
use/avoid? Should I disable 'network'?
