13 Mac OS X isn't Linux, it's BSD. Thus, there are a few changes as far
14 as networking is concerned. eth* becomes en* and sit* becomes stf*
15 (IPv6-over-IPv4); those are the only ones I can come up with off the
16 top of my head. So under OS X, you'll need to use "ifconfig en0" to
17 view your first network device. Or just use "ifconfig -a" to view
18 all of your interfaces.
