Remove the ethernet (cable) interface from the "auto" line 
in /etc/network/interfaces or use whatever GUI tool to make the ethernet 
cable not start automatically.

You can leave the interface configured, but you'll have to start it manually:
sudo ifup eth?

Where eth? is the Ethernet (cable) interface.
