To install a second NIC just play with the available drivers through
kernelcfg until one of them works. On a similar note - many of the cable
'modems' cache the MAC address of the NIC and will not recognize a new
card until the 'modem's' power is cycled - or you forge the MAC address
through ifconfig eth0 hw ether <newMACaddress>
Of course, make sure that your DNS and Gateway for eth0 are configured
correctly.
