Uninstalling/Installing Network card

I'm trying to install a Linksys network card into one of my PCI slots but I can't seem to be able to disable my onboard one in any way; (when I uninstall it comes back after reboot)



What is the right procedure?

Please help the noob.

Thanks,

Go to the control panel,right click the onboard one,click disable. It will still be there but will be disableled & cause no conflict.

You can disable it in the bios.

Why are you trying to put a card in? The onboard adapter is as good as or better than a cheap card.

I'm having problems with Steam and I was told to get a add-on card as my on board one can get "overworked".
