Installing the NIC shouldn't have caused this. I would check
/etc/inittab the line that has something like "id:3:initdefault:" and
see what the number is. The diferent valuse are explained in the
comments above this line. It should probably be 3 or 5 for your system.
If it is 1, change it, and that should fix things.
If this is not the problem, then check /boot/grub/grub.conf and see if
the "single" option is specified on the line that startes "kernel" in
the section under the title you boot from.
If you use lili to boot, then check /etc/lilo.conf instead of grub.conf.
