How to make network manager to see only one network card.
Good Day! I have a IBM Thinkpad T43p(2668) Running Precise.I use Gnome shell as my desktop.Ubuntu runs like it was writen for this laptop and I have run Unbuntu on this laptop since Lucid.I have two network cards.The OEM is a Intel 2915abg.I have just upgraded my network to n and I use a Linksys ExpressCard WEC600N atapter.The issue I'm having is that when I first bootup or restart, network manager starts both cards and the first on the list is always the Intel card.This seems to cause a conflict and slows down the connection untill I turn off the OEM card.Then all is well untill need to restart and I have to do the same thing each time.I've tried to go it to the settings and pushed the "forget this netowrk"button.All that seem to do is make NM try to connect to all the other routers near by continuously untill I connect to mine and turn the Intell card off.Is there a way I can make NM only see my Linksys card? Short of removing my intel card? Thanks! Vince.
vince@vince-ThinkPad-T43:~$ ipconfig -a
No command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean:
Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe)
Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main)
Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main)
ipconfig: command not found

i'm not sure which one relates to which network card on your system. run ifconfig ethx down (mite need to be sudo) on each of the eth adapters listed in your ifconfig output until you get the desired result. if your happy put it in your /etc/rc.local to make it permanent.
Hey schneidz.Thanks for all your help.I was able to disable the OEM network card and now only my N adapter connects.And the changes have been made to my /etc/rc.local. Thanks a bunch!
