Well, you know that with OS X, you can shutdown any network interface,
right? This is particularly useful with a laptop because those interfaces
sure use some power.

So, before throwing everything overboad, I would first go to the Network
preferences pane, then select "Network Ports Configuration" from the "Show"
popup. There, make sure that "Built-in Ethernet" is enabled. If it already
is, then, I don't know.

code monkey n.: 1. A person only capable of grinding out code, but unable to
perform the higher-primate tasks of software architecture, analysis, and
design. Mildly insulting. Often applied to the most junior people on a
programming team. 2. Anyone who writes code for a living; a programmer. 3. A
self-deprecating way of denying responsibility for a management decision, or
of complaining about having to live with such decisions. As in "Don't ask me
why we need to write a compiler in COBOL, I'm just a code monkey."
