how can I find which one is eth0?

Hi,

Just installed Centos 5.1 on HP DL360, on this system I have to close to ten nic's. How can I find which one is eth0? When I do " ifconfig -a" I see all of them, but I can't tell which is eth0?

Please advice.

Code:
# ethtool -p eth0

Thanks. I just moved the cable to each port until I saw /var/log/messages got updated.
