Re: Ubuntu network cards.

IIRC the system will always recognize the old card's configuration (IRQ's
etc) as eth0 and unless you reinstall there's no easy way to make the new
card eth1 .... that said you should find it easy to make your system default
to eth1 ... I had no problems when I switched my notebook from eth0 (LAN) to
eth1 (WLAN) from the System->Administration->Networking panel
