   enx3e3300c9e14e - is this a sane default Linux network interface name?

     Good. After a small grub modification (about cgroups - I don't know how related it could be) the interface name changed from enx3e3300c9e14e to enp10s0f0np0

     @release_candidate @stefano Also I hope you don't ever change your PCIe cards, just upgrading your GPU can mean an interface name change.
     And of course PCIe can be hotplug.
     
     Predictable in name only.

     I'm just use to them by now. Apparently the Thunderbolt doc Ethernet is enp130s0u1u3u3 on my work laptop and the (unusued) wifi is wlp170s0.

     The 10G Intel NIC on my desktop has enp1s0f0 and enp1s0f1 for the two ports respectively. The 1Gb on the motherboard is enp13s0. None of those are too crazy.

     I think it was a bigger deal back when you created routers out of old Pentium boxes and eth0/eth1 could flip on reboots for the LAN/WAN interfaces. That could get annoying.

     I had no idea there was ever a /etc/mactab .. must have totally missed that era.

     I mostly just use NetworkManager on things that aren't servers these days. If you really hate the names you can use dbus to rename them.

     Now as for systemd ... 😡😡😡 Still run Gentoo/Void/Alpine!

     @stefano Absolutely not.

     I just did a router build on Debian, and I've mapped the physical interfaces to gbe0, gbe1, gbe2, gbe3, xge0, and xge1.

     The PPPoE interface gets named wan0 when it comes up.

     The vlans are vlanXX with corresponding bridges brXX. The LACP link to the switch is bond0.
