@nixCraft@mastodon.social My question is, why do we have those overcomplicated names for ethernet interfaces?

@odysseywestra@linuxrocks.online @nixCraft@mastodon.social I believe it was so they were deterministic based on bus/slot location . Plugging in a new device could have reordered eth0,eth1. But the new naming “fixed” that.
