Networking :: Network Card Detection
If you run from the live CD, I think you have to do it every time - the only simplification is that (I think) you can run pump instead of netcardconfig.
If you have a HD install, put modprobe and pump in /opt/bootlocal.sh (I think this will work, but I'm not 100% sure).
I run from HD, modprobe and pump works fine
Thanks!
