Gnome 2010 Unable to delete Ethernet Connection

[ecoalex]

Using PCLOS Gnome I'm unable to delete the ethernet connection using the Admin Control Center. I delete it,it says it has been deleted,then it returns on the next boot up.I have set up the wifi many times. Is there a way to make the wifi default because of the inability to delete the ethernet connection?I usually have to connect the wifi each time I boot up . Some times it does connect.
Thanks

Just a thought - can you not disable the ethernet in your BIOS settings? That will stop Gnome from detecting it each time and resetting your connections.

Could have a look in

PCC (Configure Your Computer) >> System >> Manage System Services by enabling them or disabling them

to see which networks are set to start at boot time

Have you tried removing all your connections - rebooting - and then adding your WIFI one back

[kernowyon]

Another possible way to disable the ethernet would be to blacklist the module used by your card.

Thanks for the ideas,I'll try the PCC idea first,it seems the least involved.

I tried in the control panel ;deleted the connections,rebooted,reinstalled wifi,but the ethernet connection remained.It is an intermittent thing ;sometimes it does,have the connection at boot-up,other times no.My other puter doesn't do this.

Very odd, mine doesn't do this. Did you have an ethernet connection configured previously?

I have both wired and wireless connections configured and it works without the problem. When i boot without LAN cable, it uses wifi con without any conflicts.
It's really odd this is happening.
Try this:

run PCC in terminal, then delete the connection and see what it says. And send output here so we could solve this

Sorry for the lapse  of time. Yes, I did have an ethernet connection before I plugged it into the netgear wifi router.My other computer on the wifi network doesn't do this.It was also interchanged on the ethernet cable.

I entered PCC in xterm and got nothing.I need more explanation.Thx

Running PCC in a terminal should prompt you for password, and open up Control Centre  display in terminal.

Ok,I opened a root terminal logged on ,control center opened,I opened internet.remove connection,and got this:

SO, did it work for you then?

No,I just booted up,and had to connect the wifi connection.The ethernet keeps reappearing in the connections,no matter how many times I delete it.The thing is sometimes the wifi does start at boot up,other times it doesn't.Why would the empty ethernet port get precedent,and the wifi card not get recognized?
