So without the network card (and with the replacement card) the machine
works fine? It's just the one network card that's causing problems?
Does the new network card use the same driver as the old one?
If so, then I'd say you've fried the old network card. Unless it was a
gigabit card, network cards are *cheap* these days. Just replace it and
move on.
Even if the cards use different drivers, then you've *still* probably
fried the network card. You might want to try booting with a different
kernel, and see if that does anything (there's a minute chance something
happened to the way the driver was stored on disk). But that's very
improbable.
Hope this helps,
James.
