Is this an on-board ethernet ? If so, then udev has done this for "a long time". The different board will have a different MAC and udev will therefore give it a new name. You can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules.

Newer Systemd is far worse though - they've done away with usable names entirely and instead you are stuck with stupid long names based on bus address. Far easier to edit udev rules than to find everywhere the interface name is used and edit that.
