2 network cards

Dear Trisquelistos -

I have a question about network issues.
I have a network card in my Thinkpad, which - though it claims to be a
freedom-loving Atheros-card fit for the Ath5k driver - will only work
with a non-free driver. This is a known issue, and... it doesn't seem
likely to change.
Now, I have a PCMCIA card which loves the RT2500 driver, and which is
on the FSF list of fully supported cards. Therefore, that is what I use
with the FaiF distributions, and that works like a charm.
However, it screws up using Network Manager, because NM will attempt to
connect to my network with both cards, switching back and forth,
getting a connection, throwing the connection - et cetera.
So can you tell me: How can I disable one of the network interfaces? Of
course, I could just use something like WICD, but it is nice to have
the integration of NM managing the networking.

Yours,
Morten

Include the module for the integrated wifi with:

*sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist*.conf

and reboot (or sudo rmmod module).

Right, straightforward blacklisting is probably the most unintrusive
approach. Thank you for the idea.

Yours,

Not really. Disableing it on network manager would be. :-D

But it seems to lump my network cards into one. I couldn't find a way
to disable it without disabling wireless in general.

Yours,

Maybe they share the same module. ¿Have you checked?

They couldn't, completely different hardware bases.
I will look into it again. Of course, if I change to Wicd, it will only
try to access the network card I call. And that could be good
preparation for the setup for Trisquel mini...

Cheers,
M
