i have seen this sort of thing in a couple cases where what you think is
"eth1" somehow gets another name... i've seen something like
"eth1_rename_new" or some such as a device name...
"ifconfig -a" should show you all the known devices, though sometimes,
these devices get a name longer than ifconfig shows... (i've seen
"eth1_rename_new" come up as "eth1_rena") in which case, you can use "ip
link show" (ip is from the "iproute" package).
no real idea why this happened, but searching for "eth1_rena" provided
some information for me.
