The ralink driver is changing from ra%d to eth%d as eth%d is more
commonly used.

Personally I use nameif to rename my devices to sensible names based
on what's on the other end (e.g. eth and wifi on my laptop).
Unfortunately, giving interfaces odd names confuses some software -
off the top of my head, iptraf is one of these.
