Swapped HDD can't detect network driver

Expand Post »
Hi guys,

I had a home ubuntu web server I was running which just died due to RAM failure.
To keep the site going, I took out the HDD and swapped it on to another machine I had laying around.
Luckily, I was able to boot it with no problem, but the only thing is the drivers didn't update automatically...

This causes a problem because I can't seem to figure out how to make it see the new (different) network card I had on the machine.

Is there any way I can make it detect it?

I have no GUI, and no internet connection, so I need something I can do on shell to get this to work.

Would it work if I took out the old network card that was working with the HDD on the old machine, or would the configuration be different and it won't work when I switch it?


Kinda lost here...

Thanks in advance guys.
