1) You can add any hardware to your system whenever you need to. Yet you must verify that it is supported by Linux. As for your eth card, it might be that it is not supported. I would start with the Ethernet-HOWTO. Take a look at the LDP. 2) The debian-mentors mailing list is meant to help people build packages in deb format. You are expected to ask for help about using a Debian system on debian-user@lists.debian.org. If the Ethernet-HOWTO will not help, you might consider posting for help on debian-user@lists.debian.org with as much details about your eth card as you can get.

I have recently install Debian and when the OS installed I could not get the eth0 network interface to install. I was wondering if I can add this to the system after the initial install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
