The 1394 Connection can use your computer's IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port
for networking. The Local Area Connection can use your computer's
Ethernet port for networking.

Since you don't use those ports for networking, open the Network
Connections Folder, right-click the unused connections, and disable
them.
