Webadmin access through ETH1 which needs to be added via command line

I'm setting up Sophos at home on an X7A modular computer made by Xi3.

The biggest issue I've run into is NIC compatibility with Sophos.

The onboard NIC is a Atheros 81 based ethernet adapter and during the install the 32bit hardware analysis finds it and lets me configure it.  However, the same 32bit install hardware check doesn't recognize two USB NICs smsc75xx (startech USB21000S2) that I have installed on the computer.

Funny thing, if I run through the install and select a 64bit version of sophos the install completes fine however, after the reboot sophos/linux doesn't recognize ETH0 anymore (which would have been the Atheros NIC).  If I check the network hardware from the command line (lshw), ETH0 is not listed but now the two USB NICs show up as ETH1 and ETH2. The problem is that Sophos' admin doesn't have them included in it's config and I can't access the webadmin because it was configured to work with ETH0 which is no longer recognized.

Question: Is there a way from the command line to add the two USB NICs to sophos along with an IP address so I can gain access to the webadmin and complete the configuration of the system?

I've read a lot of post and some talk about the CC command line which if I could figure it out I think it would work. I've just not found the syntax that will let me add a new ethernet adapter and configure it with an IP address.

I'd also not complain about finding a solution as to why the Atheros NIC works on 32bit Sophos but not 64bit. I'd also be fine with figuring out how to get the USB NICs to work on a 32bit Sophos install.
