Internet connectivity at startup

I have a spare NIC sitting here, you think it might help if I change the other one out for this one? I've never installed any hardware in a linux machine after the initial installation...do I have to uninstall the old one? Will it automatically find drivers for this card I will be putting in?

Thanks, I'll take a look at those logs.

Can you tell us what is the model and brand of these nics? or, even better, the chipset...?

Ok, the one that was in there already is a

Kingston KNE111tX
On the chipset it looks like:
Kingston
KT98200
1111090
J0021
RA448002
37FDX

On the other one I could put in there is called

Network Everywhere - Fast Ethernet 10/100 Network Card
Model Number: NC100
Version 2.1

However on the driver disk, it says it's made by Linksys.

The problem went away simply by installing a different NIC. Thanks to everyone for their help.
