"even with" → "because of" :-) However, the ordering isn't really influenced by udev/systemd/ifnames, that's entirely dependent on the hardware and kernel drivers. > I assume this is due to parallel network device initialization from udev? udev (or userspace in general) has no business in detecting physical network devices, that's exclusively the kernel. > Is there a way to serialize this at the cost of slower system > initialization?

This is why we have needed to come up with ways to rename interfaces in userspace.
