I am Debian newbie. I have a LAN that was running and is now in need of reconstruction. On the LAN were two Linux boxes and two Macs. The Linux box that provided internet access via ppp has a Netgear fa311 NIC. This card is not supported by potato. I have obtained another NIC, a Linksys LNE100TX, which uses a DEC tulip chip and should be useable with potato. I would like to do just what is needed to configure the potato machine for this card and for LAN networking. I would like to avoid simply running through the complete install process for just this one change (and the consequent configuring of a network interface). How can I do this?
