No such device exists in Linux. Try 'ifconfig eth0' and read the ifconfig
man
page.

Using which kernel? The 2.0.36 kernel might detect and init the Sonic
without
crashing (I'm immensely impressed about that) but it can't apparently send
correct packets. I get received and transmitted packet counts that look
reasonable, there's no TCP errors logged but that's it. Try checking what
actually shows up on the wire using a network analyzer.
