What's the name of eth0?

[Jesper Holmberg <jeho5791@student.uu.se>]

Doing an "ifconfig" shows me (among other things) this:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C8:8D:C6:50  
          inet addr:10.11.165.13  Bcast:10.11.165.255  Mask:255.255.255.0


However, when I try "ifup eth0" or "ifdown eth0" (as root) I get the error:

Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

My question is: what should be the proper name for interface eth0?

TIA

Jesper
