1) In a "normal" operation (but I am online by wireless card):
systemctl status network.service
network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network)
    Active: inactive (dead)

2) Ed, do you mean that waiting for a minute or two is too short? :-)

3) I repeat, this behaviour is not constant

Waiting for your advice. Tnx to all
