Description Perry Myers 2011-03-16 14:38:12 UTC
Description of problem:
sigar attempts to dynamically map real Windows device names to ethX names, but this naming is useless since Windows has no notion of ethX.  Change sigar to use the Windows device names instead.

This is good to go in v1.6.5-0.7
