[TriLUG] eth0 to enp3s0f2

[Matt Flyer via TriLUG]

This change, which I ran into before, really strikes me as an example of violating the Unix Philosophy that is what makes the OS strong, powerful, secure, resilient, and a whole host of other positives compared to that other commercial system.  One of the fundamental principles is to do things in a manner that at crunch time, a person can take the proverbial bull by the horns and effectively work with the system that is both intuitive and discoverable.  These funky device names are neither.  Changing a well structured, human interpretable system into one designed around what works for the binary computer is just not how Linux should do things, with rare exceptions (X being one).
