Go to System --> Administration --> Network, select the interface you
want to disable, and select properties. Uncheck ¨Enable roaming mode¨,
select ¨Configuration:¨ what mode you use (normally ¨Automatic
configuration (DHCP)¨, then ¨OK¨. Now you can enable/disable that
interface by placing a check mark in the square to the left of the
interface. When you enable it, Network Manager will connect it.

This works with wired connections. I don´t know if it will work with
wireless.

Good luck,
