And BTW, the NIC swapping thing i have pulled before too (for fun, not a
production box or anything) no-problemo. Just ifconfig down the interface,
rmmod the kernel module, and yank it out (strait.) Insert 'new' card,
modprobe the driver and ifconfig it up. Trying that with an Ensoniq sound
cart the kernel Panic'd (or Oops'd don't remenber) though. :-)
Kids, don't try this at home, if you actually give a damn about the
hardware you're pulling this with.
And if you want to play with junk HW: at least use a grounded wall outlet.
