Weird interface names

Postby chasha420 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 7:33

Hi guys, just made a fresh gnome3 install of Sabayon on my new laptop & I've pretty much configured most of the stuff to my heart's content :P

I had a few questions though...nothing that important just some curiousity.

First of all, I do notice that in my previous install of sabayon...the interface names for networking devices were pretty simple and easy to guess...like eth0 for wired connections, wlan0, etc. for wireless. But in this new install I see weird hard to type & remember interface names. Like this: enp3s0, wlp2s0

So what I wanna know is...how can I roll back to the previous simple, predictable naming convention or is that not possible.

Also another thing I wanna learn is how to detect what drivers a particular device is using and how to load, remove drivers from a particular hardware...if anyone could point me to a good reference tutorial related to that it'd be great.

Thanks a lot for your time! :mrgreen:
