Couldn't you just have said (as root) "service NetworkManager stop"
and added "chkconfig NetworkManager off" if you didn't want it
to come up when booting?
And maybe "service network start" if you wanted the rival "network".

As it is, I'd "grep -r NetworkManager /etc/rc.d/init.d"
to see if something is trying to start NM on bootup.
