The device has never been zero - it's always been eth0. The procedure here:

has never changed.
ok, I've re installed it.... again. In the net work configuration, for hardware it says playstation 3 gigabit Ethernet. Type is wireless, device eth0, status ok so in the devices it says eth0, nickname eth0, type Wireless and status is active, profile box ticked.
Does this mean that it's already got wireless set up and I can try switching from wireless to wired now or should I try that wireless tutorial first?
Yes - switch from wireless to wired now. Be sure to follow ALL of the procedure - you have to delete the wireless hardware.
Then, once you've followed the procedure - DON'T ENTER THE NETWORKING PANEL TO EDIT ANYTHING. It will undo all you've done. Just use the network - it should be running after the last step.
Sometimes after I do the rm bit I hit enter and it says I think remove etc/sysconfig and all that with a "?" at the end. Do I just press enter if that comes up? There's no "y" or "n" option
It won't prompt you. Type a "y".
Also when I gor for this last try, when I get to the nano bit, do I do the nano without the "w-" or with it?
This looks like it could be the very last throw of the dice haha!
Heh - it's -w, not w-. I have no idea what w- would do.
Second - you probably don't need it. The -w keeps long lines from wrapping. Since you're only entering 3 short lines - it doesn't matter.
