installing copper gigabit card

We are installing a second NIC on our E450 running solarais8. The onboard
NIC is used for regular network and this gigabit card will be used in a
backup LAN for doing nightly backups. The user manual talks about
installing drivers
installing the card
boot -r
set up /etc/hostname.ce0 and make entry to /etc/hosts
make entries to ce.conf (like if we need auto negotiation off etc)
reboot again

I also learnt there is a patch I need to install at some point (111883).

Question is, is that all?
The IP number I received is in a different sub-domain (understandably) and
also differnt netmask (255.255.248.0 vs the onboard NIC's 255.255.255.0).
Its gateway is also different from the one in /etc/defaultrouter
Where would I enter the different netmask and gateway info?

thanks
SS
