When you added the new card, did the dmesg output reveal that the NIC was detected? It probably did.
You will have to create a /etc/hostname.??? that has the IP, subnet, gateway, and media options in it or dhcp. Then you will have to use ifconfig to "activate" the NIC. Can you send the dmesg with the card in it? Do you have DHCP on the network? What does your /etc/hostname.??? look like? > I tried with other card, the same model, but I can't get it working.
