I would switch off NM altogether -
use
service NetworkManager stop
chkconfig NetworkManager off
service NetworkManagetDispatcher stop
chkconfig NetworkManagetDispatcher off
All done, as you suggested ...
That way it will be stopped in your current system and will not
restart after re-booting
Indeed, it didn't restart on boot, but neither did the network. During
the 'init' time it produced the familiar message:
Error, some other host already uses address 192.168.1.6 [FAILED]
and didn't bring the network up. However, as soon as it was up:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.6 up
# route add default fw 192.168.1.126 eth0
brought everything on-line. Now why won't it do it during the book sequence
and why does it stil think someone else is using the IP address. I can't
find (ie using grep) "192.168" anywhere in sysconfig/* or sysconfig/*/*
except for the specific instances in ifcfg-eth0
