The fact is that udev renamed the NIC. For the average Joe with one NIC (very |
| 25 |
large percentage of users) this is a non sequitur. For those of us with 2 or |
| 26 |
more NICs, myself included, we have already setup our systems to use multiple |
| 27 |
NICs for a purpose and configured the system so that nothing can/will/needs to |
| 28 |
rename subsequent NICs. |

|
| 30 |
My point is don't say "the new kernel naming scheme of NICs", say "the new |
| 31 |
systemd naming scheme of NICs". |
