Hi folks, I understand that the predictable nic names can be turned off using
net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line, but I wonder if there is a shell script to actually predict the "enpYsZ" from the old style "ethX" initially assigned by the kernel? Something like % predict_nic eth4 enp12s1 There are some recipes I found on the net, but they all appear questionable or "this_vendor systems only" or work only for X=0 or look just like some attempt to start yet another flame war. Parsing dmesg output seems to be the most stable solution I found by now. Every helpful comment is highly appreciated. Regards Harri
