I think all non-archimedean locallocally compact fields are homeomorphic: Their rings of integers are compact, metric and totally disconnected and hence are all homeomorphic (to the Cantor set). The same is true for the units in those rings. The field is then topologically the disjoint union of the ring and a countable number of copies of the units.
