Blueyonder query

Does anyone know if there are problems switching from using a USB
adaptor (to ethernet, to plug into the cable unit) to having an NIC
card installed in a PC (I'm thinking of MAC being logged by ISP, and
the use of the NIC causing a problem, in this case). For a friend who
is visiting relatives in Sheffield, and the friend will be on the phone
if it doesn't work, so I want some idea in advance, if possible :-)) Ta!

They got rid of NIC registration a while ago.

Modem only supports one or the other when it comes to USB and ethernet
and you need to switch off and switch on when changing
for the modem to auto detect and reconfigure.
