[Bug 2085835] Re: "Predictable Network Interface Naming" suddenly changed the name from enp96s0f0 to enp96s0f0np0 causing outage

Sorry to take so long, I asked my colleagues - nobody says they have
done anything to the machine. Maybe they don't remember...

here is the output of the "abnormal" machine:
dundts at mongodb-rs2:~$ uname -r

and here is one of the other two "normal" machines:

Title:
  "Predictable Network Interface Naming" suddenly changed the name from
  enp96s0f0 to enp96s0f0np0 causing outage

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On three identical servers - sleds in a blade chassis.
  the NIC name of one of the servers suddenly changed, causing an outage. The netplan config could not assign IP to the interface due to the name change.

  enp96s0f0 to enp96s0f0np0

  The two other servers still have the enp96s0f0 name. No BIOS or other
  configuration change is detectable between the three systems.
  Firmware, software - all the same

  I tried to debug this issue myself, but it turned out to be a very niche and complicated topic.
  I went to submit an issue on https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues, but they only accept issues for newer versions.
