In /etc/modules.conf, look at eth0 alias and/or eth1 alias. It
should be the name of the driver you intend to use. You don't
have to reboot for tests, just put the right stuff in and
do your `ifconfig` stuff by hand.

Also, sometime, with your new kernel running, do `depmod -a` this
will update the dependencies.

    I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be
    attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del
    was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.
