how do I disable one of my two networkcards when booting up?
Hello linux friends,
How do I disable one of my two wireless networkcards when booting up?
I have two cards but I want to cut one.
I know how to do ifconfig eth0 up or down but when booting up both cards are again activated.
thanks for helping me.

Rep:
try 'setup' at a terminal promp (as root via sudo or su)
go to 'network configuration'
pick your network device and make sure to uncheckmark activate at boot
