if your computer turns on and boots to your operating system then no you don't have to replace the motherboard cause it works. now if i take it you have a desktop you can buy a pci ethernet port anywhere but i suggest http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7200537&CatId=1175
