How to switch to predictable network interface names?
For this, simply mask udev’s .link file for the default policy: ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ Switching back to the old persistent interface names is not one of the options documented.

How are network device names chosen in systemd?
I talked a bit about systemd’s network device name in my earlier post about systemd-networkd and bonding and I received some questions about how systemd rolls through the possible names of network devices to choose the final name.
How are networkinterface names defined in Debian 5?
It’s probably also possible to do this by masking enough of systemd.) This scheme, introduced somewhere around Debian 5 “lenny”, used udev to identify interfaces by MAC address and assign a fixed interface number to any interface it recognized (writing the rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ).
What are the names of the network interfaces?
This page deals with the various schemes by which wired and wireless network interfaces are assigned names – that is, the underlying system labels like eth0 or wlx800e1319c734. It has nothing to do with the “connection profile” names used by apps such as NetworkManager, like “Wired connection 1”.
How can I change the name of my network interface?
However, if your PC only has one network interface and not much is at stake you can try: wait until udev breaks your networking, if it’s going to, or trigger the change yourself. ask ip what new name it’s using, and fix your configuration files.
