Thanks Gianluca,
I can't access https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2435891 unfortunately, but https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/consistent-network-interface-device-naming_configuring-and-managing-networking looks like it might help me.
Chris

It is strongly discouraged, for Openstack and when you have more than one
adapter. See here if you have access:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2435891
Anyway perhaps you could manage order of names customizing
/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
At least as described here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/consistent-network-interface-device-naming_configuring-and-managing-networking
but I never tried it
HIH,
Gianluca
