Maybe I misunderstood, but didn't the lightning already "disable" your ethernet?

Anyway, if you don't want eth0, just don't load the driver for your NIC.

yes, but the led is always green and if i plug in a cable networkmanager says me: "unplugged cable" ..... it can't see anything now.....

so i could blacklist the ethernet module in rc.conf , right ?

i was thinking about a

ifconfig eth0 down

or similar......

Put ifconfig eth0 down in your /etc/rc.local

Blacklisting would be better imo.
