The tools work by monitoring a network interface and depend upon
a predictable network interface name that remains stable across boots
and hardware changes (unless you move the card to a different slot).
enp3s0 → Ethernet (p = PCI bus 3, s = slot 0)
ens33 → Ethernet on onboard slot 33
wlp2s0 → Wireless (p = PCI bus 2, slot 0)
That's it. End of story (but of course, with you, Grandpa, it's always a
never-ending story)
