I am trying to add a New Network card into Machine which has Linux installed. But my problem is, I cannot reboot the Linux host to detect the new network card, is there any workaround for this? I know, linux supports adding new disk without reboot by scanning scsi bus. Any idea, How to scan New network card?
Kernel Version = 2.6.18-308.el5

after making sure all the hotplug modules or kernel config directives are enabled?
