Indeed, after two hours fiddling with firmwares hoping this is a software problem, then cables and hubs to find where the problem exactly is, then one hour and a half riding the subway to the other side of town where the shops that have discrete network cards nowadays are, and finally after you ruined six months uptime to shutdown and install the newly-bought card, editing a small config file is really the straw that broke the camel's back.
