Thanks anyway.  I've googled and searched on the Linux Documentation 
Project and in my books, but don't find what I want.  It's probably 
something incredibly simple, like removing the old NIC (for example), 
replacing the new one, and running the hardware configuration program.  
I guess I'll find out someday!  There's no immediate rush - this Linux 
box is just great the way it is, but I realized that there is this gap 
in my knowledge and I like to fill gaps like that.

Cheers,

Malke
