Hello,

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up and i noticed this bug i 
reported is still open.

Based on what we know now i think the bug can be closed.

To summarize:
* the ordering of network interfaces (and therefore the ethn names) was 
never meant to be stable and changed with Xen 4.17
* domUs starting with bookworm use enXn by default and their order 
matches the config
* bullseye domUs on a bookworm dom0 with more than 10 network interfaces 
need a workaround:
   * use udev from bullseye-backports and enXn naming scheme
   * use custom udev rules to get fixed interface names

Thanks for your help with this issue,
Valentin
