No, FreeBSD names make sense, giving you an idea of what driver is being
used.

I've also never found FreeBSD nics to change after installation.  
That is, if the card was bge0, it stayed bge0 after reboots.

Granted, if you move the drive to a machine with a different brand of NIC, 
you'll have to edit /etc/rc.conf to reflect the new name.
