init_etherdev() allocates and registers the network device in one
step. it uses eth%d as the template for the device names. this
conflicts with already registered ethernet devices, like eth0. since
we want a fixed (and different name) this patch uses alloc_etherdev,
rewrites the device name and then registers our interface.
