See, https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=4&chap=2#doc_chap4 Using your Own Names Code Listing 4.2: Setting the lan0 name for the current eth0 interface # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/76-net-name-use-custom.rules # Second one uses ID_NET_NAME_PATH information, and 76- number to be between # 75-net-*.rules and 80-net-*.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}=="enp3s0u1", NAME="net0"
