With all the interest in helping Alan to get his ethernet card working, one of the things that caught my attention was the name that appeared for him in "/sys/class/net." I googled "enp3s0" and saw many, many threads in different lists and fora about exactly the same situation. People couldn't get their "eth0" working and were surprised to find out that it wasn't "eth0" any more but something else.
There were many allusions to the "new naming convention." enpxx for ethernet and wlpxx for wireless. Where does this name convention exist? I remember that xlnglp posted about what he had discovered in the "different" names, but I can't find what he wrote. I don't remember if he had identified a source. I'd like to be prepared for future efforts so that I don't bark up incorrect trees. Here's the mystery for me: Alan and I have the same NIC. We probably have different boxes, but I don't think that's relevant. He built LFS-7.4 just like I did. Kernel 3.10.10 + identical NIC = same kernel configuration. However, his NIC is named "enp3s0" in /sys/class/net and mine is named "eth0" in /sys/class/net. Why the difference? Where did the difference originate? What is its source? More googling.
