Yes I think et0 should be the correct name.

This looks fine so far. I have not used the netif API myself, so I don't 
know if there were changes between the old and the new version. But I 
bet there are, as there was lots of work between 1.1.1 and 1.3.1.

Can you please show us the code you are trying to use with the netif 
API? Maybe we should also add a netif API test to the lwip package.

Well the drivers are initialized in cyg_lwip_simple_init() in 
ecos/simple.c (for simple mode) and tcpip_init_done() in 
ecos/sequential.c (for sequential mode) with the following code:

        // Initialize network devices
        for (t = &__NETDEVTAB__[0]; t != &__NETDEVTAB_END__; t++) {
            if (t->init(t)) {
                t->status = CYG_NETDEVTAB_STATUS_AVAIL;
            } else {
                // Device not [currently] available
                t->status = 0;
            }
        }
