Can you get hold of a PCI* NIC to try, it will appear as eth1. If it
works the problem is with the motherboard NIC. I'd also check the BIOS to
make sure the pixies haven't disabled the NIC in the BIOS settings,
stranger things have happened, sometimes disabling and re-enabling a
device can resurrect it.
