You must use chkconfig --del network to permanently prevent network at boot.
Then use service network start/stop manually to launch/shutdown the network.
However, this is not the perfect solution, as you still need loopback for most
applications. My personal solution is to have a network profile with loopback
only for when i'm roaming, and to switch between different profiles with
symlinks.
