network interface names


How does cygwin's eth(whatever) relate to the windows interface names?

For example, on my laptop, eth0 is tied to my wireless network connection and eth1 is tied to my wired local area connection.

I'm developing DHCP software for cygwin, and I need to be able to derive the cygwin network interface name (e.g. eth0, or eth1...) given either the connection's MAC address, its IP address, or its windows interface name (e.g. "Local Area Connection", or "Gigabit Integrated Controller", or "WLAN Mini-PCI Card #2", or something like).

Thanks for any help,
 Ian
