I was looking for a method to turn off completely any startup communication with the Built-in Port. Turning the protocol off, doesn't seem to turn off the System w.r.t. the Built-in Ethernet ... it still seems to try to connect, or Network Utility still recognizes it (as en0), although inactive. Also turned Off the IPv4 and IPv6 auto select. Since my Built-in Ethernet port is partially fried, it partially connects. Then trades off to the Asanté card, but that doesn't connect. Only after I do an "Off/On Apply Now" routine within Network > Network Port Configurations, does the Asanté card use DCHP to setup a proper address. Maybe I just need to find another PCI card and/or maybe USB card / USB WLAN stick that is more Mac compatible ... Thanks.
