Hi folks,

Depending upon udev version, kernel driver version, installed hardware,
etc the network interfaces might change their predictable names, eg from
enp25s0f0 to eno1 or enp25s0f0np0. See #929622, for example. It would be
very helpful if interfaces(5) or /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples could
provide some examples how to mitigate this problem.


Just a suggestion, of course

Regards
Harri
