dmesg | more 
then find something which looks like this:

ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> port 0xa800-0xa81f irq 11 at device 12
.0 on pci0
ed0: address 00:c0:26:ee:3b:bb, type NE2000 (16 bit)
xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xac00-0xac7f mem 0xed022000-0xed02
207f irq 10 at device 13.0 on pci0

and use device names with ifconfig (xl0 and ed0 in my case)
You do not need create device nodes in /dev for network interfaces
