in /etc/network/interfaces, there is a line, which brings up the
networks on boot:

---snip---
auto lo eth0
---snip---

When the LAN is on eth0, simply remove it:

---snip---
auto lo
---snip---

1) Go into the BIOS and disable it.

2) Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to remove the
relevant line, based on it's MAC address.

I commented out he:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

and all I have in the "/etc/network/interfaces"-file is:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

and after reboot I still have network connection, how come? :(

That's what step (1) is for: disable the "NIC" in the BIOS.

(My mobo has two NICs. Disabling one of them from the BIOS means
that Linux doesn't see it.)

Do you have NetworkManager installed?

Then either remove NetworkManager if you are not going to use it, or
configure it not to automatically enable that interface.

And please reply to the list (and only the list), not me, and please do
not top post, it interferes with the usual flow of reading (from top to
bottom).
