"enp3s0u1" isn't a kernel name; it's an "ID_NET_NAME_PATH" attribute.
I use the following on my laptop:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/85-net-name.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="eth*",
ATTR{address}=="28:D2:44:0E:2F:53", NAME="wire"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="wlan*",
ATTR{address}=="68:17:29:4B:26:5C", NAME="wifi"
The rule that used to create 70-persistent-net.rules added
DRIVERS=="?*"
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0"
ATTR{type}=="1"
but udev doen't seem to need them.
