Hello Admins,

I'm planning to replace the current 10 Mb network adapter in
an AlphaServer 2100 4/200 with a newer 100 Mb card (DE500-xx).
The 2100 is running DU v4.0d. Once the faster adapter is in
place, do I need to boot with the generic kernel, run doconfig,
and build a new kernel to get the system to recognize the new
100 Mb card?

Thanks for your help. I'll certainly summarize.
