Who misses the old Linux Ethernet names? Remember when your network interfaces were just eth0 and eth1? Now we have long names like enp0s25. Let's see where you stand.

• I miss it (0)
• I don’t care (0)
• The new names are better (0)
• I don’t use Linux 😉 (0)

@nixCraft@mastodon.social There's a boot parameter you can put in your bootloader that replaces those long names with the older names. I use this boot parameter.

The parameter in question is "net.ifnames=0". If you're using GRUB, put it under "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX".
