Disable network init on boot?

I think maybe I knew how to do this once, but I never can remember the
details of kernel arguments, and the docs/howtos are not of much assistance.
Anyhow, I've installed a new driver for my (wireless) network, and it's
not working very well - the system will lock up completely in the
hardware init stage. As it happens, I think I know how to make things
work, but before I can do that, I need to be able to start up the system
in single user mode at least. So how exactly do I do that? How do I
prevent the kernel from loading a certain module that modprobe.conf
tells it to load? Can I disable a "device type" in the hardware init
phase? And shouldn't there be as simple way to start up the system with
the minimal config to allow access to the harddisk? Or is there one?
And so on...
