Does the nic show up when do lspci? If not then it's likely broken.

Does the nic show up with another name when you do

ifconfig -a

If so, you ought to be able to map it back to eth1 by modifying the
persistent net rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. If not, then it is likely that
the nic isn't supported by the kernel.
