This is 32-bit Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

The following is output from dmesg | grep "renamed from".

[    6.952855] r8169 0000:01:00.0 eno1: renamed from eth0
[    6.973957] e100 0000:05:00.0 enp5s0: renamed from eth1
[   22.375269] ath9k_htc 1-2:1.0 wlx6466b31c83ef: renamed from wlan0

I am OK with eno1 and enp5s0, but wlx6466b31c83ef is getting a little ridiculous. Is there a way to prevent drivers renaming the interfaces?

as per the first part of this answer from another thread:

Step 1: Disable the default Firmware inherited names.

Edit your /etc/default/grub changing the line from

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"

and, finally run as root:

$ sudo update-grub

and reboot your system.

$ sudo reboot

(glad it worked)
