Yes, I'm sick of that crap, too.  eth0 was the ethernet port on all my
computers, until that happened.  Now each computer has a different name
for its ethernet port, thanks do different hardware in each.  And some
have two wildly different names for ethernet ports in the same box.  And
now, somehow, I'm expected to know which is which.  As if I can remember
what hardware is in which box, in which board?!

In most cases, in the past, those of us who had more than one ethernet
port, simply configured eth0 to the specific MAC built into it, and
likewise with eth1, etc.  We only had to do it once per installation.
Only a few people were lumbered with random-MAC ethernet ports, and
quite frankly, I'm sure they're still lumbered with the current system.

This email brought to you by potato omelates: Boil three medium potatoes
for ten minutes, then smash them (that's mash them only once, so they're
chunky). Stir up four eggs, like you're going to make scrambled eggs.
Mix potatoes and eggs together. Melt a large lump of butter in a frypan.
Slowly fry small helpings until golden brown. Replenish the butter as
you go along, don't burn the butter. Tip out any butter that's starting
to burn, as you go along.
