I need to setup my wireless router (ADSL). My Kubuntu can find two cards

eth0 (Ethernet) and eth1 (Wireless)

I need to disable eth0 and keep eth1 up and running for wireless. How
can I do this? Do I actually need to disable eth0 to work with eth1?

BTW, no mater what I do in /etc/network/interfaces when I go to K
Menu>>System Settings >> Network Settings I see different parameters
and IP addresses. If I disable eth0 from there and restart the
computer, the eth0 is enabled again.

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file content

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

ifdown eth0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
