It looks like systemd again is responsible for this mess. From what I
understand uses eudev the same files as systemd with udev. If so you
should do

ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules

to make sure (e)udev does not mess with the network devices. (/etc/udev
seems to have priority above /lib/udev)

After that it is somewhat unclear to me. Or
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules should work again. Or you
should add a 70-net-name-slot.rules with the syntax of
80-net-name-slot.rules like

SUBSYSTEM!="net", GOTO="net_setup_link_end"
IMPORT{builtin}="path_id"
ACTION!="add", GOTO="net_setup_link_end"
IMPORT{builtin}="net_setup_link"

NAME=="eth0", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD}"
NAME=="eth0", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_SLOT}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_SLOT}"
NAME=="eth0", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}!="", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}"

LABEL="net_setup_link_end"


After adding net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 your system should work as
intended but I do not have the time to test it, hopes it helps in the
right direction.

Grtz.
