[ubuntu-in] permanently putting eth1 to sleep

[shirish]

Hi all,
  This is the status of my interfaces whenever I start my computer :-

shirish at Mugglewille:~/Documents$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:87416 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:76166 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:110575182 (105.4 MB)  TX bytes:7252826 (6.9 MB)
          Interrupt:20 Base address:0xcc00

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0xc800

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:19592 (19.1 KB)  TX bytes:19592 (19.1 KB)


Of these two interfaces only eth0 is the one which is functioning. The
other one eth1 isn't used or doesn't work.

Now is there anyway to permanently shutdown eth1 rather than doing
sudo ifconfig eth1 down ?

Looking forward for comments and suggestions on the above.
