+ <listitem>
+ <para>Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless
+ <varname>net.ifnames=0</varname> is specified, see above). The names are derived from various
+ device metadata fields. Newer versions of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> take more of
+ these fields into account, improving (and thus possibly changing) the names used for the same
+ devices. With this kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific version of this
+ algorithm. It expects a naming scheme identifier as argument. Currently the following identifiers
+ are known: <literal>v238</literal>, <literal>v239</literal>, <literal>v240</literal> which each
+ implement the naming scheme that was the default in the indicated systemd version. In addition,
+ <literal>latest</literal> may be used to designate the latest scheme known (to this particular
+ version of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
+ the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
+ updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
+ appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>
