I figured there was probably a less disruptive way, but I knew that erase / reboot would work, assuming only one NIC. But since we're on the subject, just what would the "relevant kernel module" be? The device-specific driver for the NIC, such as xirc2ps_cs, for example? Or a more general networking module? What would be the exact procedure? I'm guessing something like: [edit rules file] ifdown eth1 modprobe -r xirc2ps_cs modprobe xirc2ps_cs ifup eth0 [if needed] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
