If the MAC address changes, I would expect the name to change from `eno16777736` to something like `eno52423433`. I wouldn’t expect it to change to `eth0`. Anyhow, it could be interesting to watch for changes. Currently the interface is named `eth0` with `00:0c:29:12:0e:9e` as MAC address: $ ifconfig eth0 eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.101.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.101.255 inet6 fe80::7e13:1a20:5a2a:75b8 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:0c:29:12:0e:9e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 75773 bytes 81703677 (77.9 MiB) RX errors 1 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 33366 bytes 2056250 (1.9 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 19 base 0x2000 Perhaps someone can tell from the above output what’s happening.
