I've just created two network profiles, one wired...one wireless, however, when I choose either one, and boot into arch and do an ifconfig I get both wlan0 and eth0.
If I do ifconfig eth0 down or eth0 wlan0 down I am able to still browse the internet, which means that both network devices are connecting at start up instead of the one I want to use.
Any ideas?

we can't help this way man, at least your rc.conf file

NET_PROFILES=(menu)so do you choose the profile from the menu ?
have you tried adding NET=$profile to your kernel line ?

I have added NET=$profile to my kernel line and the menu that appeared during bootup no longer appears. However I now get an error message regarding a missing /etc/network-profiles/$profile profile during boot up.
After bootup I do an ifconfig and only my wireless connection is listed and connected.
Here are my network profiles:-
For my ethernet card (Realtek 8139)

sorry my bad, i thought you'd get my point but it seems that i misexplained it, my apologizes
when i say NET=$profile i meant replacing the $profile with the profile name, fo your case, make in your menu.lst Two identical kernel entries (change only the title, and at the end of the first add NET=Wired (or Wireless, the first one will be the default one) do the same thing to wireless (NOTE: i suppose that your profile names are Wired, Wireless)
now boot and it depends on the profile you selected at boot time, the network will be used...
Hope that helps

I tried adding the profiles to the kernel lines and I still get the same result. I presume that this is because i'm loading ndiswrapper from the modules section of rc.conf. Is there anyway I can get this module to load only when I choose the wireless network profile?

how did you get the menu to work at all?
