Things to look for based on my experience: 70-persistent-net.rules, net.ifnames=0, biosdevname=0. I cheated; I use NIC teaming, and before starting networking, run a script that iterates over NICs, picking up their current device names, and scripting the if-cfg* files. I had to do this when a few years ago, Dell was getting clever about renaming NICs aggressively, and nothing could trust 'eth0' anymore. Now, I always get a 'bond0'. (Oh, and I also disabled NetworkManager, because, like systemd, it tries to be Too Clever for it's own good.) Overkill for most, I admit, but it make my installation media much more portable. -- Brian Reichert <reichert at numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large
