 Good news :)
 
 There is something that we can find in that doc and that you can't find
 in the Handbook: it's the installation & test of a NIC, of course it's
 very far from being perfect :)
 I'm planning something about that problem: I want to add a big section
 in the Handbook (maybe in config & tuning chapter) about installing,
 configuring and troubleshooting NICs. "Newcomers" are often lost on that
 point.
