I'm trying to unbrick my Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH that had OpenWRT on it (it bricked when I tried to go back to stock.) Windows fixes didn't work so I am trying an Ubuntu 17.10 Live USB, but I am running into problems and don't know much about Linux so I'm stuck

These are the instructions I am following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tftp-hpa
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.11.2
sudo ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0
sudo arp -s 192.168.11.1 00:1D:12:34:56:78
#change to the folder where you put the firmware image, if it's on desktop then it's
#"/home/ubuntu/Desktop".
cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop
tftp 192.168.11.1
*from this point, you're under tftp command prompt, the "tftp>" is the prompt tftp gives you, you just need to type the command AFTER that.
tftp> verbose
tftp> binary
tftp> trace
tftp> rexmt 1
tftp> timeout 60
tftp> put wzrg300nh-firmware.tftp

and I'm getting stuck at sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.11.2 because it says

eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

I tried the same step with eth1, eth2, etc but it can't find it. I do have internet connection so I know the Ethernet card works

edit: apparently this got flagged because it wasn't specific enough. I guess my question was how to find what my version of eth0 was and chilli555's answer was what worked for me, it turned out to be enp1s0 and I managed to unbrick my router as a result, so thanks!
