You can use "ifdown eth0" (or whatever device) to disconnect one device, or
"service newtork stop" to stop them all.

But, if you go to the netwrok control panel thing and select "Allow all
users to enable and disable this device" you should be able to do it as a
user. If you cant find it, or prefer config files, its the USERCTL
parameter in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
