Right, all of my scripts stopped working when I got a new RaspberryPi  a number
of years back. It was due to new network interface names impossible to figure
out manually!

So I had to go through the hoops of fixing it:
https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/mini-howtos/change-default-network-name-ens33-to-old-eth0-on-ubuntu-16-04.html

Luckily the Raspbian maintainers quickly realized what a shoot-in-the-foot this
was especially for folks who need to scan the Internet to get commands to do
stuff, and these commands no longer worked!

So they reverted the introduction and returned to eth0 and company. :)

Similar for ifconfig which if nonexistent can be resurrected as follows:

sudo apt install net-tools
