No, not in something that's compiled. 

We have provisions in for network devices named "eth" and for ones named 
"venet". But of course not "seth", as you have noticed. I've never run into 
that kind of network device, so until you mentioned it it was unknown to me. 
What's so special about it that it has it's own name and deviates from the 
standard "eth" naming convention?

I just checked what code needs to be modified to add a new type of network 
device. It's plenty:

base-apache.mod/glue/handlers/preview.pl
/usr/sausalito/sbin/dnsImport.pl
base-dhcpd.mod (Several files. However, this module is usually not installed)
base-network.mod/glue/constructor/30_addNetwork.pl
base-network.mod/glue/handlers/Network.pm
base-network.mod/glue/handlers/change_route.pl
base-network.mod/glue/handlers/no_duplicates.pl
base-network.mod/glue/handlers/rewrite-ifcfg.pl
base-network.mod/glue/schemas/network.schema (not sure about this one)
base-network.mod/ui/web/network_details.php
base-vsite.mod/glue/handlers/Vsite.pm
base-vsite.mod/glue/handlers/network_destroy.pl
base-vsite.mod/ui/web/networkHandler.php

When you search /usr/sausalito/ for the term "venet", all relevant files that 
may need to be modified should be listed. That's easier than to search for 
"eth", as that also lists comments and variables like "method", which are 
unrelated to the issue.
