Yes, that'll work. That's code I hadn't touched or looked at since September 
last years, so I just double checked it.

When you pysically add add a network interface, then during the next reboot a 
constructor will tell the GUI interface about it.

The new NIC won't show up when you call /sbin/ifconfig - of course, because 
it's not configured yet. But it'll show up in the GUI uder "System Settings" / 
"TCP/IP" and you can configure it there. 

If it's the 2nd NIC and wasn't there earlier, it'll show up under "Active 
Monitor" / "Network Status" as well. But that page will only show traffic 
statistics for eth0 and eth1. It won't report it for eth2 or eth3.
