Thanks Reco & Greg. I did see the /lib/systemd/network/73-usb-net-by-mac.link file. Thanks for that. I don't know exactly what is happening, but the MAC address of the device keeps changing after an ifdown/ifup cycle post boot. When the device boots up, it comes up with its own real MAC, but it

My internet connection is off the ethernet port of a PCI-E card that also has USB ports on it, so the ethernet device is recognized as a "USB ethernet device"... Back in Debian Buster, I learned that the "predictive" naming of this USB ethernet interface would be governed by "73-usb-net-by-mac.rul
