Re: How to Disable Ethernet

If the cable is connected, there's a reasonable chance that you'll get
network traffic. Are you sure you're not seeing broadcast packets from
other machines on your network getting to your Windows CE device?

Is the device configured for DHCP? Maybe it's trying to get an IP address
from a DHCP server?

Other 'things' in the system aren't going to access the chip directly, once
you've removed KITL. Everything will go through the driver. That doesn't
mean that many network services won't be sending and receiving data, though.
