Linux Predictable Network Interface Names
Reference:
=== Predictable Network Interface Names
Starting with v197 systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. This is a departure from the traditional interface naming scheme (“eth0”, “eth1”, “wlan0”, …), but should fix real problems.
=== Why?
The classic naming scheme for network interfaces applied by the kernel is to simply assign names beginning with “eth0”, “eth1”, … to all interfaces as they are probed by the drivers.
