You need to tell your card to not do zero config stuff. How you do this depends on the distribution. Redhat based distributions you add nozeroconfig to the appropriate ifcfg-ethx file in /etc/network-scripts/networking/ (or something like that - memory is a but rusty). Ubuntu (and probably debian) editing the /etc/network/interfaces file should do the trick.
