Run `devprobe eth0' as root to make sure the device exists - If it
really does, Mach will print out `eth0'.

If you have GNU/Linux installed on that machine, or a GNU/Linux Live-CD
at hand, the lspci output for that card would help, especially the pci
vendor/model numbers which belong to the network interface adapter, they
are output by lspci -n:
nighthawk~$ lspci | grep Ethernet
0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556 Hurricane CardBus [Cyclone] (rev 10)
nighthawk~$ lspci -n | grep 0b.0
0000:00:0b.0 0200: 10b7:6055 (rev 10)
