After you disable the networkmanager services with systemctl the network manager will not start up after a reboot. Hence why you use "systemctl disable NetworkManager". This systemctl command deletes all links to the autostart of the NetworkManager services. Til today I have never seen or used "systemctl mask" and I guess I will continue not using it. Given that NetworkManager is simply useless and incompatible with OpenVZ VPSs you should just really uninstall it and be done with it.

Is there something I'm missing? All this fuss hassle about a small issues!?!?!?
