</div>Does the nic show up when do lspci? If not then it's likely broken.<br>

Does the nic show up with another name when you do<br>
<br>
ifconfig -a<br>
<br>
If so, you ought to be able to map it back to eth1 by modifying the<br>
persistent net rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. If not, then it is likely that<br>
the nic isn't supported by the kernel.<br>
