interface with 169.254 address

[John G. Heim]

I have a server I want to do an fai install on. It has 2 on-board nics 
but a 3rd interface is getting configured with a 169.254 (self-assigned) 
IP address. As a result, fai can't do host lookups and therefore cannot 
do an install. I need to either keep fai from trying to use the nic with 
the 169.254 address or keep it from loading the driver for that nic in 
the first place. Can I blacklist a module in fai?

I don't really know where the extra nic is coming from. I think the 
server has a OOB (IDRAC) card. But I'm blind and I can't get into the 
BIOS myself. I have a co-worker looking into that with no success so far.
