How do you disable the wireless Internet from the command line?
I tried sudo ifconfig eth1 down
but network-manager seems to ignore this and keeps trying to reactivate it. What's worse is the network-manager widget doesn't let you disable it either once it starting "trying to connect". Whenever I'm near a spotty connection, it just keeps trying and trying to connect, failing each time and showing an annoying error message, "sorry, we couldn't connect".
