I'm pretty sure mine is done with a udev rules file.  I never had mine
on the kernel line.  This is the list of rules files I have:


root@fireball / # ls -al /etc/udev/rules.d/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 28 13:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 28 13:29 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2064 Apr 27  2021 69-libmtp.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1903 Apr  4  2012 70-persistent-cd.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  814 Jan  1  2008 70-persistent-net.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Mar 22  2015 80-net-name-slot.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Nov 27 17:53 .keep_sys-fs_udev-0
root@fireball / #


I can't recall which of the two about net it is tho.  Thing is, it seems
to work with eudev but not udev.  I'd think it would but based on
experience, it doesn't.  I guess if someone is switching a remote
machine, or any machine, and they want to be sure, add the option to the
kernel line to be safe.  That may be a more dependable method.

Either way, at least maybe these threads will help someone else avoid
the problem.
