Reconfiguring a network card after moving hard disk

Hi

For easing my life I have installed Ubuntu-server 6.10 (Efty) on a system with Nvidia on-board ethernet card. Now I have taken out the whole hard disk + PCI IDE controller and put it into an old machine with an Realtek 8139 PCI ethernet card. Problem: network doesn't work any more. The i386 version of the kernel is used and the card itself should be supported. It seems there is no eth0 device any more. lspci sees the card.

lsmod|grep 8139* says:
Quote:
8139cp 22528 0
8139too 27136 0
mii 6016 8139cp,8139too
ifconfig gives:
Quote:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 METRIC:1
...

How can I bring it up using the command line?

Thanks

OK, I found it: there is no eth0 but eth1. Changed all eth0 to eth1 /etc/network/interfaces and now it works.
