Network interfaces bug

We have an Infscape appliance running on bare-metal hardware and we have an odd issue.

Each update of Infscape, the machine reboots and our network interfaces magically shut off or switch naming scheme.

This results in us being unable to access the machine, and having to manually change this configuration file each time this happens. It is especially annoying since this machine hangs in a datacenter off-site.

At this moment we have made a static interface-link file within the /etc/systemd/network/* directory where we manually bound a MACaddress to a specific interface name.

Is there a better solution that this? I’m suspecting next update will overwrite these changes and leave us back at the start of this issue.

Thanks in advance

No-one has encountered this problem?

I think the best option to fix this is to switch away from the legacy network naming scheme to the newer one.

This will be done with the next update. Currently this is being implemented & tested. The plan is to make this as seemless as possible by getting the new one and switching the configuration before booting to the upgraded system where the newer naming scheme is used.

Do you have any idea when this update will be rolled out?
Thanks in advance.
