Thanks I was aware of those. however I was looking for a method on the kernel boot line (as in I am installing and I dont want the network driver to load).

I can accomplish this with noprobe but then everything is gone. There are individual items like nousb nopcmcia and I was looking and have not found one for nonetwork.

Closest kernel boot parameter seems to be the netdev= option. Could perhaps use it with the dummy.ko device - don't know the details of how that would work.
