Why does network interface sometimes change name?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I am running Arch as a guest in VMware Player on Win7X64. On every odd
boot, the name of the network interface changes. Sometimes it is:

    eno16777736

Sometimes it is:

    eth0

This makes it really hard to configure a fixed IP, which I do by
having in `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`:

    interface eno16777736
    static ip_address=192.168.101.10/24
    static routers=192.168.101.2
    static domain_name_servers=192.168.101.2

I have to change back and forth the interface name in that configuration file.
