Farewell, Ubuntu (update)

[Eugene Cormier]

you could always blacklist the driver for the card that you don't want
to use (just add the module name to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
file).....that way there is only one card being loaded in the first
place.....I was going to show George how to do this, but he never
returned an 'lspci' to me so I didn't know which modules were being
loaded
