A little help with WiFi

[Thiago Robert]

Hello there..

I managed to get a stable connection (I'm using it right now) deactivating 
and then activating my wireless card.. I also downloaded wifi-radar but I 
didn't have that much luck with it. I think it may be conflicting with 
Ubuntu's built in support for wifi.

How can I turn off the wifi activation during boot? I've been using linux 
fore some time now but I'm new to debian-like distros..

thanks in advance!
