Hi all,
I've been having this problem with two laptops, and continue to have
the problem.
I don't know much about networking, but I managed to "fix" the problem
by editting "/etc/default/avahi-daemon" so that it reads:
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0
(originally it had a 1 rather than a 0). Then I restarted my computer
(though maybe restarting networking is sufficent). Note: I am not sure
what damage I am doing, since I haven't tested eth0 since doing this.
I have only been using wifi.
I stumbled on this because when I am having the problem with extra
non-working wired interfaces, my output of "ifconfig" read:

The lines for eth0:avahi only appear when I am having this problem. I
hope this helps to arrive at a solution.
Best,
Pat
