I had previously removed all the NetworkManager stuff, but when I ran a 'zypper up' this morning, it got re-installed. Must be some hard requirement/recommendation somewhere?

If it's a requires, you can easily try: rpm -e --test NetworkManager

What do you get?

Recommends are a bit trickier to find, but things like zypper se -i --recommends NetworkManager

should also get you going (but that only works for the exact symbol name.. so different provides of NM would need to be checked).
