You could also try doing it without even having to restart your computer:

# lspci

find out which kind of NIC you have

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig

Add support for your network card as a module

# make && make modules_install

This will re-build the kernel and the kernel modules

# modprobe <module>   where <module> is the name of the module for you NIC
# /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop
# /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
