Debian used to assign network devices based on MAC address.
If you want to continue doing something like that, use the
kernel boot parameter
net.ifnames=0
and create your own udev rule. For example:
/etc/udev/rules.d/76-netnames.rules:
# Create custom network interface names based on MAC address.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:11:25:86:61:87",
NAME="net0"
This rule will assign the Ethernet adapter with MAC address 00:11:25:86:61:87
the interface name net0. Reference the interface by this name in
/etc/network/interfaces.
I hope this helps.
