Then you might found a bug? With predictable network names the name of |
| 6 |
your device depends on the PCIe slot/address it is in. If you change |

positions in the board your names should change, not on reboot. |

And you might believe it or not, running Linux on servers is much more |

popular than running Linux on your home desktop. Thus I'd guess things |

tend to be made easier for people with more than one network card. |

Certainly you don't want rely on random device enumeration order on |
| 13 |
reboot if you run a webserver with multiple network devices. |

If you want to disable this on hosts running systemd read [0]. |
