    well the easiest is probably to just unplug the cable then you wont connect to the internet... – Alvar Mar 01 '14 at 13:32

Method #1 - from NetworkManager's Applet

Try disabling the wireless networking under the Network Applet that's accessible from under the icons in the upper right of your desktop.

                                                    ss #!

NOTE: The networking applet's icon looks like a triangle wedge. The image above is pointing to is as arrow #1. If you click it you should see a menu slide out from where you can disable wireless permanently, arrow #2.

Method #2 - /etc/network/interfaces

From the file /etc/network/interfaces you can specify that NetworkManager shouldn't control the wlan0 interface. To do so simply add this line to the above mentioned file:

iface wlan0 inet manual

Then restart NetworkManager:

$ sudo service network-manager restart

Add sudo ifconfig eth2 down in /etc/rc.local file so at login it will be down.
