Network Interface Card

Talk to strangers
The network interface card (NIC) allows computers to send messages to and receive messages from network connectors attached to the computer.
These cards can be configured to only connect to selected sides (use while holding). This allows using multiple cards to build a custom router, for example.
When using the default Linux distribution, this device will provide a regular ethernet device. Network setup can either be performed manually, or using the convenience script setup-network.lua. This script provides the option to either use a fixed-address setup, or a DHCP setup. For a DHCP setup, exactly one computer in the network must act as a DHCP server.
After initial setup, use the command ifconfig to see the currently used IP address.
Computers have to be shut down before installing or removing this component. Installing it while the computer is running will have no effect, removing it may lead to system errors.
