I have a bit of software that is hard coded to open eth0. My system assigned the name enp0s25 to my ethernet connection. I could go through the code and replace all instances of eth0; I'm just hoping there is a shortcut I can take.Is it safe to create symbolic links inside /sys/class/net? I see lo and enp0s25 in there. I'm tempted to just create a link named eth0 there, but I have no idea what that would do to my system.
Can I create a fake eth0 mapped to an existing interface?
