I try to change my Network Interface Name to the old style eth0, eth1 like with this question:

via this line in grub config it seems to work.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"

I changed this line unfortunately I have 2 Network ports, and by random the eth0 port swaps on system boot. What helps?

assigning the mac adress in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules helps problem is I have to generically write this file for many computers and we have boards where we need to make sure that a defined port helps e.g. the left one.

You could possibly script the rewriting of the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file. How do you currently identify which network card you want to use from within Ubuntu? – Arronical Jun 29 '16 at 14:39
in ubuntu 12 I used e.g. always the right hand port with eth0. In Ubuntu 12/14 it did not swap on system boot. – user1786641 Jun 30 '16 at 07:02
Do they have same hardware (motherboard)? – user.dz Jul 08 '16 at 17:55
unfortunately not – user1786641 Jul 14 '16 at 13:37
