If I recall correctly, the enp* names are the new names. Unless you tell it to use the old style, eth0, eth1 etc, the new names will be used. If that is what you want, it should be as simple as unmerging eudev and emerging udev. I might add, you may want to reboot especially if you use the old naming method. The kernel assigns the names during boot up. Restarting udev wasn't quite enough when I switched. If you look for my previous thread on this, there is more info there. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
