On second boot, there was no network, but rcnetwork started it.

However, the name is abusrd: ens33. Where is eth0?

By default systemd now names interfaces using firmware/BIOS provided index numbers (e.g. eno1), but if that info is not available (possibly because you're inside vmplayer) it falls back to naming after firmware/BIOS provided PCI-E hotplug slot index numbers -- which is what you're seeing here.

Why the change?

It's in order to ensure *predictable* NIC names across reboots.

How do I revert that change?

You could disable the udev rule with something like: `ln -sv /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules`
