Or a problem with the cable, I'd forgotten that there was a crossover
adapter there when the cable was being used for eth0 which was still on
eth0 (networking for idiots it is..[1]). So I now have a crossover cable on
eth1 but it now doesn't work differently :-)

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:08:A1:60:8E:1D  
          inet addr:192.168.0.53  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::208:a1ff:fe60:8e1d/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:124 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:3060 (2.9 Kb)  TX bytes:9858 (9.6 Kb)
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd800 

Any clues?
