[bitfolk] Re: Upgrade from Ubuntu Jammy to Noble - lost networking

Hi Ian, Are you sure? Predictable Network Interface Names have been a thing since udev v197 about 10 years ago: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfa… The only thing that stopped it happening to Xen VMs was that udev did not know what a Xen network interface was until recently. cloud-init doesn't choose interface names - that all happens with udev way before cloud-init is run. On desktop I find most people don't notice because NetworkManager just does DHCP regardless of what the network interface is called and they never need to look. I would have to type "ip link" to tell you what the name of my wifi interface is now on Debian 12, and I've been using this laptop for 13 months. Oh, it's wlp166s0. If I found myself needing to know that often then I'd probably use a .link file to rename it to something of my own choice.
