You will still need to configure the card you put in, probably by just copying the motherboard ports config in /etc/networking/interfaces to whatever dmesg calls the new port when the box is rebooted. You will likely have a fight with NetworkManager over that, and may have to "sudo chmod +i interfaces", or expunge NetworkManager. For sure if your local network is /etc/hosts file based. N-M will also destroy your /etc/resolv.conf, so I also chmod +i a file by that name after killing the doofy link it probably is now. It doesn't need much in it, just the address of the nameserver, in my case the address of the router, a dd-wrt install in a higher end netgear router. It either answers the DNS query, or fwds it to my ISP's nameservers. An extra line of "order hosts,dns" has been known to be handy but I am working right now without it, using aliases for all the FQDN's in my /etc/hsts file. Hint in doing that, only localhost in that file is 127.0.0.1. wicd can sometimes do it, but I am so used to the brute force, screw NetworkManager before it can screw me that I do that to all new installs here.
