25 Did you read the reply in the link properly? The ethernet device naming of the OP changed due to differences in the kernel .config. This IS expected behavior and is out of the scope of predictable network interface naming.
26 Also, could we drop the constant bickering from the mailing list? What once was a legit discussion on Firefox removing ALSA support turned into another whining spree, "because systemd is evil". Don't like it? Don't use it. End of story.
