By the kernel, I suppose as you can pass a kernel command line
parameter with grub (net.ifnames=0 or net.ifnames=1)
to switch between eth* and en* names.

I was there, I did try hard, but I was not able to make ifrename
work reliably in the case you want to rename and reorder
the interfaces (that is change the name and the number)
because you change it one by one but the names you want
are already in use by other interfaces that are up.
