[arch-general] Why does network interface sometimes change name?

I am running Arch as a guest in VMware Player on Win7X64. On every odd boot, the name of the network interface changes. Sometimes it is: eno16777736 Sometimes it is: eth0 This makes it really hard to configure a fixed IP, which I do by having in `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`: interface eno16777736 static ip_address=192.168.101.10/24 static routers=192.168.101.2 static domain_name_servers=192.168.101.2 I have to change back and forth the interface name in that configuration file.
