How can I enable 2 ethernet cards in linux?

When I installed Linux it only detected my wifi card on my laptop (thinkpad a20m). I know by default Linux, when installing, looks only for one ethernet card. Is it possible to activate the ethernet card now? Eth0 is mapped to the wifi card.

Depends which distribution, but whichever admin tool you have will configure the card when you enter the network devices section.
Reply:it should find both actually at least the fedora 7 does just go to system admin and then network open that then add new. it should find it then. make sure you save and you might have to reboot.
