lol, I know, but...
He didn't tell what kinda NIC he had, what version he is running, no
hint to how much he knows etc, making it hard to be more informative.
I know I should have asked for more info, but he I had a bad day and
I thought he would come back for more if he needed:)

See, if he doesn't know how to setup his NIC in the first place
(modules etc) this won't help him either. Besides, does he know
what info to put in /etc/network/interfaces? So I really should
have asked for more info, would have been more polite anyway.
