for back the old names for the interfaces:
# nano /etc/default/grub
edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0
biosdevname=0"

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# reboot

Along about Debian 10, the standard first ethernet card interface for a 
desktop machine, referred to as "eth0", was changed to "eno1". Just out 
of idle curiosity, does anyone know why this was done? (It broke some 
stuff on my machine.)
