Disable dhcpcd for eth0 on boot

Hi,
I have an unused ethernet port (eth0) on my laptop and instead a wireless card (wlan0). Is it possible to disable the eth0 from trying to get an IP address when it starts up because it takes a very long time and slows down boot times a lot. It seems to stick for about a minute on

dhcpcd: MAC address: <eth0 mac address>

Thanks, Thomas

P.S forgot to mention I'm running Slakcware 10.2

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
and
remove whatever is in the "" in
USE_DHCP[0]=""

Of course I don't use wireless, so have no idea how you integrated
it with the slackware boot-/network-scripts

Cheers,
Tink
