Currently we use the legacy network interface names. This works, because the observed behavior is that at least non-hotpluggable interfaces seem to be probed in the same order. So the primary interface at least does not get renamed from eth0 to eth1 or something like that.
However, this behavior is not guaranteed. As we are moving to support UEFI and therefor real hardware configurations, we should also consider migrating our networking config related code to support the new names to hopefully reduce headaches.
