Eth0 Network always has to added


Another problem I am having is that for some reason every time I restart my computer I have to add my internet connection again. I have two ethernet cards, one onboard and one off. It always tries to load the onboard one Eth1 as a LAN. It is not a LAN, I have cable. Does anyone have any idea why this is, and what I can do about it?

So do you need both network interface working?
If you only need the off-board network card to work, you can disable the on-board one from the BIOS. Most motherboards give you an option to do this.
