Disable eth0 interrupt

Hi,

I have a following scenario.
Application send data to 2440 via tcp/ip socket, Application process the
data and get ready to fetch next data.

Now I want to do disable interrpupt on eth0. i.e. while processing the data
I don't want interrupt on eth0 after processing the data I want to enable
interrupt on eth0 and listen for more data... Is it possible?

It means for some time I don't want to listen on specific device. 

Let me know the possible solutions or guide me in right direction.

regards,
tinyarm
