I don't need to switch. It's just that it's not doing what I think it 
should do and I want to know why.

I don't want to disable the onboard card. I have two different NICs in my 
computer using two different drivers and I want to load only _one_ of the 
drivers at a time and be able to switch among them:

load driver A (on startup)
... work
unload A, load B
... work
unload B, load A
... work

and so on. Again I have to mention it's rather an academic question - I 
don't really need it, I just want to know why it's not doing what I 
supposed it would do.

Best regards,
Andrei
