BL20p G3 NIC's problem

Greeting,
I have several blade servers, BL20p G3, with RedHat Linux AS4 update1. When I use "ifconfig -a" to present the NIC's information, I get the message as follows:

dev2130 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:FE:87:11:6A

The NIC 1~3 can present correct name like eth0, eth1, eth2, however the fourth NIC can't. It alwasy show "devXXXX".
Is there a way of dealing with this issue?

any chance you have udev(1m) or something similar around renaming devices on/for you?
