What makes ens33 more absurd than eth0?
Eth0 is easily recognizable by all familiar with traditional networking, without eidedic memory, and without requiring a lookup table. Maximum predictability here means every installation under the same roof uses the same name for the first (and only) *E*T*H*ernet port for it's reserved IP address.
One possibility is to add net.ifnames=0 to kernel command line.
When? On every boot? Only on boots on which zypper or yast will be installing updates? Only at initial installation? Does it need to be in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader too? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
