If you're asking about the actual guestOS nic name (eth0,etc) is not available through the vSphere API. If you're asking for the network adapter name (e.g. 1,2.3.) as you would see from the vSphere Client, you can take a look at the virtualHardware section and identify the virtual network adapters which has a label http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50%2Fvim.vm.device....
