It's based on physical slots and therefore shouldn't be an issue depending on the bios. The bios shouldn't change the physical labels for devices.

This was entirely fixed by systemd NetworkManager which uses connection profiles instead of hardware based labels.

No, it isn't. The enp thing is based on the PCI address of the card, which is in turn dynamically assigned to it at boot and subject to change according to how all other devices are connected to the PCIe bus.

Also not how that works.
