NIC Upgrade

bruhja
Can I change NIC Hardware easily, or do I need to do Kernel module changes.

Example can I just power off the unit swap NIC's and power the unit back on, then just configure for the new NIC in the web interface or to I need to install the kernel modules for the new NIC.

    If the new NIC's are of a make which is compatible you can do that without installing other kernel modules. I've done that numerous times over the years when a hardware got broken and never had any issues. 
    With "compatible make" I mean NIC's from wide-supported makers like Intel which I always use, but if you want to use something brand new or somehow exotic then you have to try by yourself.
