This is a bit of a problem for my test box because I have Network Manager set up static configuration for that enp1s0... which no longer exists when that commit is applied. I could change to enp1s0np0, but then this would no longer exist if I want to test a kernel that doesn't have that commit applied. If the name doesn't exist, booting pauses for about a minute while NM tries to find it (probably a NM bug), so adding both names isn't an option either :-/ (I don't use DHCP for this adapter as it's directly wired to another test box) Alternatively, as a compromise, might it be possible to omit the "np0" bit if the adapter only has one port? Thanks, David
