If yes, can you up the interfaces, and send some packets over them
and see if the TX counters on eth0 increase?  If yes, can you dump
the packets sent out over eth0 using tcpdump?

I tried to ping out and into the box.  Nothing seems to go anywhere:

root@ppc_target:~ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:11:81:00:00
          inet addr:192.168.12.189  Bcast:192.168.12.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:17 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:1810 (1.7 KiB)
          Base address:0x6000

lan1.1    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:11:81:00:00
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Running tcpdump on the external network (192.168.12.x), I saw
no activity.

Do I need to do anything more than "ifconfig lan1.1 up"?

IP addresses should be attached to the lanX.X interfaces, not to eth0
-- eth0 will only be carrying specially tagged (DSA/EDSA) packets.
So you should move the IP address to lan1.1.

Can you trying pinging via lan1.1 and then seeing if there are
packets transmitted out over eth0, and dump those packets with tcpdump?

It looks like the packets are going out, but I don't see anything
on the wire.  After a few ping attempts:

root@ppc_target:~ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:11:81:00:00
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:2974 (2.9 KiB)
          Base address:0x6000

lan1.1    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:11:81:00:00
          inet addr:192.168.12.189  Bcast:192.168.12.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:1638 (1.5 KiB)

The eth0 and lan1.1 counters are going up at more or less the
same rate.

Can you run tcpdump on eth0 to see what the packets look like?
