I figured there was probably a less disruptive way, but I knew that erase /
reboot would work, assuming only one NIC. But since we're on the subject,
just what would the "relevant kernel module" be? The device-specific
driver for the NIC, such as xirc2ps_cs, for example? Or a more general
networking module? What would be the exact procedure? I'm guessing
something like:
[edit rules file]
ifdown eth1
modprobe -r xirc2ps_cs
modprobe xirc2ps_cs
ifup eth0 [if needed]
