Subject: [suse-sparc] How to disable a network card?

Hi everybody,

I have a problem that is not really a problem, but
more an annoying thing. I have an Ultra2 server
running Suse 7.3. On the Ultra2 I have the build-in
Ethernet card, and 2 SCSI/HME cards, so in total I
have 3 hme connections. Within Linux, they are known
as eth0, eth1 and eth2. Unfortunately, I am only using
eth0 and eth2. I have removed every reference to eth1
in the /etc/rc.config file and rebooted the server. I
am still getting, like every 5 seconds, the message
saying that the interface is down, can I please check
the cable....
What I would like to know is what can I do to disable
the card to prevent that message from appearing as it
is filling up the /var/log/messages file and I am
afraid I will miss a potential real problem or
intrusion?

Thanks a lot and please keep up the good work. Suse on
Sparc hardware works like a charm,
Bertrand.
