All,
Thanks for the help

I can confirm that adding net.ifnames=0 at /boot/cmdline.txt restores behavior to the previous one.
This means that the Raspberry Pi Ethernet port is eth0: and any additional Ethernet over USB is eth1: eth2: etc.
wlan0: is not affected

Hi,

Just installed the new Raspbian stretch.
I was surprised to find out that the system is assigning new Ethernet interfaces names based on MAC address instead of eth0: eth1: etc.
what needs to be done to restore the names to the originals?

Thanks

Yoram
