No, sorry.  I wanted to do wired ethernet with my T40 but the cable would
get in the way and damaged from being rolled over and stepped on (or be
quite difficult to route), so I had to do 802.11.

It's probably active to support wake-on-LAN.  Maybe disabling WOL in the
BIOS (though I doubt what the BIOS says is relevant), or rmmod-ing the
appropriate module(s).  Maybe there's an option to the module to not support 
WOL?  modinfo should say.
