I wrote this after a bad week at a previous job trying to get an Android device to work with a CDC Ethernet adapter.

Since writing this, a couple people have let me know that there is a particular bit in the MAC address, that if flipped, will cause the kernel to assign an `ethX` name instead of `usbX` name. I haven't tried it myself or updated the post with that information because I moved on to a different job, and Android devices are no longer a large part of my life.

Of course, that only helps if you have a CDC device where you're in control of the MAC address (i.e. maybe another Linux device pretending to be a CDC adapter)
