enable second interface on hme (netra t1)

Hello everyone.
I've been running debian sparc on my netra t1 for so many years I'd
practically forgotten all about it.
A couple nights ago, we had a very near lightning strike (though not a
direct hit). It was quite something, as the charge in the clouds overhead
would build up, it would set off one or two of the smoke alarms, then when
the lightning discharged, they went off. It was eerie.

In any case, this has apparently permanently horked eth0 on my HME card.
eth1 still shows link when I plug in an ethernet cable, so I sez "no
problem, I'll bring up eth1 and keep rolling" cept I'm really a novice here.

ifconfig does not see more than one interface on the HME. I tried playing
dumb and just changing "eth0" to "eth1" in /etc/network/interfaces ... this,
of course did nothing. Googling for "debian sparc hme configuration"
unsurprisingly yeilds pages and pages of mailing list entries about the
net-install cd.

I would imagine, that I need to configure something with the kernel module
for HME?
