Do you have it configured somewhere (for example in [2])? If not you can
use a daemon like NetworkManager.

[1] is necessary because (at least under Debian (I cannot verify on
Ångström right now)) you can set certain parameters in [2], i. e. if an
interface should be configured statically or dynamically. You have to
reference those devices with `ethN` (N ∈ ℕ) but without [1] they would
be randomly enumerated. That is why [1] is needed.

I hope that helps.
