The network interfaces on Android interfaces are listed as directories in the file system in /sys/class/net/.

For most Android devices the network interface for gprs traffic is called rmnet0 and for Wi-Fi it's usually eth0 or tiwlan0.

I suspect that the cell interface for the Motorola CLIQ XT is rmnet0, but I would like to have this confirmed + know the name of the Wi-Fi interface.

Also it would be good to know the device id for this model. This is the value available as android.os.Build.DEVICE in the Java SDK. (E.g. T-Mobile G1 uses dream, Samsung Galaxy uses GT-I7500, and Motorolda Droid uses sholes.)

Turns out the Motorola CLIQ XT (Zeppelin/MB501) running Android 1.5 has a cell network interface called rmnet0 and a Wi-Fi network interface called eth0. The device's id is zeppelin.
