The best solution is:

	# chkconfig --level 5 NetworkManager on
	# chkconfig --level 5 network off
	# chkconfig --level 23 network on
	# chkconfig --level 23 NetworkManager off

That way NetworkManager runs at level 5 (GUI) and network won't, and
network runs at levels 2 and 3 and NetworkManager won't.
