Change eth0 to eno1

[Paul M. Foster]

Folks:

Along about Debian 10, the standard first ethernet card interface for a
desktop machine, referred to as "eth0", was changed to "eno1". Just out
of idle curiosity, does anyone know why this was done? (It broke some
stuff on my machine.)

Hello,

There have probably been vast tomes written on this subject. A good
key phrase to search for is "predictable names" possibly with the
addition of "network device".

A good start is:

for back the old names for the interfaces:
# nano /etc/default/grub
edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# reboot

Getting eth0 back isn't hard:
