I think you mean eth0 vs xl0,dc0
Linux uses eth_ for naming a network interface, on BSD interfaces are
named after the driver, xl0 (3Com 3C90x), dc0 (DEC). IMHO it is one of
Linux' design flaws. Naming it after the device is a plus because it
makes troubleshooting easier and less confusing (you know right away
which interface are you messing with).
