What about disabling the second network interface in the mb bios.
Then linux will not see it.
After that open e1000 source file, and rewrite section that probes for
card to stop when found. But this could cause random switches to the
active network interface. Used to do this way back in the 1.x kernels
to force ne2000 cards to probe in the correct order.

Hi,
I'm using a PC with two Intel Gigabit adapters (i8254x). When Linux
(RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.24) boots, it calls "insmod e1000.o" and the
driver initializes and takes control of both adapters. Is there a way to
restrict the e1000 driver to only one adapter? I've searched in the
driver parameters but there is nothing obvious.
Thanks,
Cyril.
