SubjectRe: drivers/net/usb/asix: strange numeration of eth interfaces
From

What you're seeing isn't strange, it depends upon what ethernet devices were
visible when you installed your machine.

'udev' in userspace remembers the mappings from ethernet addresses to
device names, and renames devices as the system comes up to what it
first saw them as, based upon the MAC address.

So one possibility is that there were 2 other ethernet or wireless devices
in your system at install time, so the one that the ASIX device got was
'eth2'.

Therefore that is the device name it will have until you tell 'udev' to
do otherwise.
