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.
