Bug Description

Since few days, when I turn on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000), I have eth0 & eth1 active at boot, but only eth0 is used, eth1 is the wifi card, and I don't use it.

So, I do a "sudo ifconfig eth1 down", but less than a minute later, eth1 has woke up.

But when I check just after typing the command, eth1 doesn't appears, so she's inactive, and she turns on without any human action.

For help, I give you my /etc/network/interfaces, and my ifconfig with eth0 and eth1 up.

/etc/network/interfaces :

root@essendon:/# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

#auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

#auto eth2
#iface eth2 inet dhcp

#auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp

#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp

ifconfig with eth0 and eth1 up :
