Look back through the archives a couple years, and you'll find one of my
emails with a shellscript to tell you all wifi device names and all
wired ethernet names. A couple days after I submitted it, somebody else
improved it. A shellscript like that belongs on every computer, so it
can be invoked from every init script and run file and other
shellscripts needing the exact name of network devices.

This even works if you're using a laptop with a wifi dongle that gets
plugged into various usb ports and therefore has various predictable
names.
