You'll need to go back into kernel configuration and add support for the second NIC. If you do it as a module, you shouldn't need to recompile the kernel.
There should be a thread in Documentation, Tips & Tricks covering how to add module support for stuff without recompiling the kernel.

during my installation i had several problems but i manged to resolv them but going back to live cd, it tried to find modules but it didn t work out so i think i first go back to live cd an check which driver i need for this card then try if i can configure it somehow so that it would be saved in the modules autoload file, funny should be easier to install a second networkcard but maybe i got something wrong whith the modules and its really easy anyway
its not very elegant but maybe it will work |
