<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>

the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
