'enp' is new to me. Apparently it is part of the "Predictable Network Interface" naming method that Ubuntu now use. (I don't use Ubuntu.)

OpenSuse (which I think you use) did use that system for one or two releases (13.x?) but they changed back again. I have one opensuse box here, long overdue an upgrade which shows:

On reason why I've been so slow to upgrade is that I seem to remember that OpenSuse does not change from the enp to the other one correctly on upgrade...
