Line 1: '''Consistent Network Device Naming''' is a convention for naming [[Ethernet adapter]] ~~adapters~~s in [[Linux]]. It was created around 2009 to replace the old {{Mono\|ethX}} naming scheme that caused problems on [[Multihoming\|multihomed]] machines because the [[network interface controller]]s (NICs) would be named based on the order in which they were found by the kernel as it booted. Adding new interfaces could cause the previously added ones to change names.<ref>{{Cite web \|title= Network Device Naming mechanism and policy \|date= October 9, 2009 \|author= Matt Domsch \|work= LWN \|publisher= Eklektix, Inc \|url= https://lwn.net/Articles/356900/ \|accessdate= May 27, 2013 }}</ref>
