For reasons which are long and complicated, I need to hide a NIC interface. The test machine is a box with 2 Nic interfaces on the motherboard and a strange PCI card with 2 more interfaces. They appear as eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3. I need to make eth3 not be there. (Not allowed to use a soldering iron :-) ).
If it's just a matter of not starting up at boot change the value of 'ONBOOT' in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3 to 'no'. This way you are not permanently disabling the device, just switching it off. You won't see it in ifconfig.
