You can just put the inferface down with ifconfig (or ifdown), or you can use ethtool to suppress link messages (but then, you won't get the messages for Link Up and Link Down). I don't have enough granularity in the ethtool msglevel right now to separate these, I'll see if I can find something better. Ben.
