Question: eth0 vs enp1s0



Hi folks,

just a question about network names, which I do not understand.

I have two different computers, both are installed with the same versions of 
debian packages. But one of it has enp1s0 as network interface name( my EEEPC 
1005HGO) , the other one the old eth0 scheme (my Aspire 7520G).

Both got 70-persistent-net-rules configured. 

Now I can not understand, why one of them is using enp1s0. Who is deciding the 
name? I read the documentations and the blogs, but I did not understand, why 
both machines are different.

As I am not happy (at the moment) with the new naming, I added the if.names=0 
to the grub commandline. 

Would be nice, if someone could help me to understand.

Best regards and a happy new year.

Hans
