It's because the mac address has changed hence linux assigns it as a
new ethernet device, which it is. There is a way to reset this but I
can't for the life of me remember.

I stumbled upon it after moving a virtual machine and the same thing
happened because I used new device ids.

If I can manage to find the link I'll post it.
