Network devices - stop automatic connection

I use grml on hd.
1) I have configured my networdevices at /etc/network/interfaces. There is no automatic ifup configured in it, but if I am connected to my router the networkconnection get's automatically established on startup of the system:
* Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP (Backgrounding)
I think the connection get's established because an init script detects my networkdevice an runs a DHCP-client butI dont't know which script it is.
How can i stop the autoconnection of my network device(s)? Or is there an other grml/debian way of configuring network devices?
2) On system startup I get the message:
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mountcount
The message tells me that I should run e2fsck. Why isn't this done automatical as it is on any other linux I uses before?

The script named grml-autoconfig within grml2hd asked you for setting it:
| [x] check for network devices and run pump (get ip-address via DHCP)

Either run grml-autoconfig and deactivate the dhcp option or manually set CONFIG_DHCP='no' in /etc/grml/autoconfig.
On system startup I get the message:
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mountcount

Because max-mount-counts and interval-between-checks for ext3 is set to '0' within grml2hd using tune2fs. This way you will never have an unwanted, unexpected delay at booting your system just because of an automatic filesystem check.

I did it with grml-autoconfig and it worked as expected.
On system startup I get the message:

I thought it's a bug, but it is a feature :-D.
Thanks for fast reply.
