I just use eth0.. here's a sample section built on a sled10-sp1 host..
the networking section is done on the fly in a pre.sh script in my setup
in order to set the right initial addresses/names:
    <interfaces config:type="list">
      <interface>
        <bootproto>static</bootproto>
        <device>eth0</device>
        <ipaddr>10.46.16.35</ipaddr>
        <netmask>255.255.254.0</netmask>
        <startmode>auto</startmode>
        <usercontrol>no</usercontrol>
      </interface>
    </interfaces>

Oh, cut the bleeding heart crap, will ya? We've all got our switches, lights,
and knobs to deal with, Striker. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds
and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping
and flashing - they're *flashing* and they're *beeping*. I can't stand it
anymore! They're *blinking* and *beeping* and *flashing*! Why doesn't somebody
pull the plug! - Buck Murdoch - Airplane 2.
