I once had an onboard NIC go bad, and the PCI NIC I substituted for it |
| 25 |
wouldn't work unless the onboard NIC was disabled. So disabling |
| 26 |
onboard hardware may or may not be a net positive. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So long as there are no drivers available for the onboard NIC, it |
| 29 |
won't show up in the net subsystem, so udev won't tie it in under net |
| 30 |
rules. |
