Mac OS X isn't Linux, it's BSD.  Thus, there are a few changes as far  
as networking is concerned.  eth* becomes en* and sit* becomes stf*  
(IPv6-over-IPv4);  those are the only ones I can come up with off the  
top of my head.  So under OS X, you'll need to use "ifconfig en0" to  
view your first network device.  Or just use "ifconfig -a" to view  
all of your interfaces.
