To disable predictable interface naming and switch back to the old scheme, add
net.ifnames=0
andbiosdevname=0
to your boot paramets.
What is the old scheme? This?
The solution to this issue is to assign custom names based on MAC address. The MAC address is hardcoded into the network adaptor, and will not change. (There are other ways to do this as well, such as setting udev rules).
Does that mean that until you name something it’s unusable?
It’ll be the topic of major news outlets the world around. The BBC will have a live interview with the developers of Mint and Bazzite, governments will decide to invest in opensource to replace Windows, Mac and any other closed source viruses, there will be a Linux User Foundation that collects money purely for linux (unlike the Linux Foundation) where people can apply for jobs to work on the kernel with entry-level positions like intern and junior, the Opensource User Foundation will be founded to propagate opensource wherever and whenever possible, … it’ll be glorious!
We will truly enter a better world, all thanks for 5% penguin.
