I think this is the way Network Manager works. It does not bring up 
the network interface until you log in. On the other hand, the 
network service will bring up the network without anyone being 
logged in.

While probably not accurate, I consider the network service for 
servers, and maybe desktops, and the NetworkManager service for 
laptops, where you are more likely to be changing networks often.
