my box has a firewire port that is showing up as fwe0.  it is not being
used, and i would like to eliminate this device from the network
configuration.  (some applications try to bind to this as its default
interface, ex: iftop).

how do i go about elimination, or where is that network configuration for
that located?

thanks,
jonathan
