So what did you use instead? I have never had trouble with using
"eth0" or "/dev/eth0" before, so I didn't check if such a file
existed. A network interface is a device which I expect to be
represented under /dev.

Maybe the program I'm trying to try out is broken, but unless I can
specify a network interface, I can't tell.
