I don't have a git repo for /etc. I do have a nightly rdiff-backup. But
nothing changes on this system. I'm still on Mint 17.3, and the only
updates I get any more are OpenSSH, chirpw, and Opera. None of those
should be affecting networking config stuff.

Nope. I probably tried to apt-get purge it, but it's all tied up in
dependencies with OpenDesktop stuff and network-manager. I can turn if off
with a manual override file in /etc/init.d/ but it's been there all
along, not causing me grief.
