Can you please check if you have an /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent- net.rules?
According to your UdevDb.txt you use the standard e1000e controller. I suppose what happened is that the old persistent-net-generator ignored VMWare devices, but ifnames knows about them. So we need a similar trick to what we do for virtio ethernet devices in udev.postinst. ** Summary changed: - network interface name change with xenial upgrade + VMWare network interface name change with xenial upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550539 Title: VMWare network interface name change with xenial upgrade Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I just (2016-02-26) upgraded from wily to xenial in my VMWare VM. The network interface name changed but the upgrade process didn't change /etc/network/interfaces. As such I was left without networking. This may be related to bug #1473542, but obviously isn't the same.
