I have considered doing just that: remove the 4-port NIC and try to configure eth0 and eth1 (both built-in) as desired. Then, reinstall the 4-port NIC and see if it is auto-detected properly and eth2-5 hold thereafter the settings the I provide. Does anyone have any ideas that don't require the removal of the card?
