    Generally, there is a alias in your /etc/modprobe.conf (or modules.conf on
    prior releases) that points eth0 to the kernel module (driver) for your
    specific network card. Here is example:

    alias eth0 e100

    This is for an Intel based card. /dev/eth0 is using the e100 kernel module.
