Most modern distros have a mapping of MAC address to device name. Usually something like /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Since two interfaces are shown it may be that only one interface is configured for dhcp and it is not the one connected to the modem.

Run the following command from a terminal. Do it a second time and replace eth0 with eth3. grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg Here is what I get on my laptop. [ 1.032604] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:24:e8:a7:0b:18 [ 1.032606] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 1.032630] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: MAC: 7, PHY: 8, PBA No: 1004ff-0ff [ 17.960553] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Hth,
