You want predictable interface names, then.

To switch them to predictable, append "net.ifnames=0" to kernel's cmdline;
the argument will then be parsed by udev (the on-filesystem way to do so
changes quite often).  Easiest way to change the cmdline is
"dpkg-reconfigure grub-*" where * can be "pc" or "efi" depending on how your
machine boots.
