My first thought: netplan, and found a link explaining it here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1317036/how-to-rename-a-network-interface-in-20-04


Basically, in /etc/netplan/10-my-config.yaml:

   ethernets:
     enp2s0:
       match:
         macaddress: $my_mac_address
       set-name: eth0

Then, `netplan try`, and if the syntax is okay, there's a 120 second 
timer to go to another terminal and `ip link` to see if you now have 
`eth0`. It will auto-revert if one doesn't press [Enter] during the 120 
second timer.


Worked for me...
