If the PC card in the active Ethernet Adapter is different than the PC card
that was in the Ethernet Adapter when the configuration parameters were
saved, all parameters but the PC card options are loaded from the file. You
will need to set the new PC card parameters manually. This procedure
allows you to change your PC card while keeping your network and serial
settings. You can save a new version of the configuration file so that future
loads will include the PC card parameter settings.
