This is just a guess .... but if you have more than one eth port
different kernel setups can find the ports in different orders and
assign them differently.

I'm guessing your old eth0 is now eth1 and your network is dead.

Quick test would be to change your cable to the other port on your
box and see if the network is up, though that assumes all eth
settings okay with the other port.

And this is just a wild guess.  If I'm right, setting alias between
the eth0 and your hme card will fix things.
