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/
/etc/network/
root@essendon:/# cat /etc/network/
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 :
root@essendon:/etc# ifconfig
