Why do you need to disable it? If you don't plug it in, nothing will
happen. Just ignore it and do whatever you do for wifi.
ifupdown is not like NetworkManger. It will try to configure any
interface marked "auto" or "allow-hotplug" in /etc/netwok/interfaces
even if it is unplugged. This may cause startup delays until the DHCP
client gives up (if using dhcp method and marked auto) or
address/route/DNS conflicts with the wireless interface (if using static
method). So yes, bad things may happen.
