I have a new Lenovo Thinkpad T550 and am using Debian Testing on it.

$ uname

SMP Debian 4.4.6-1 (2016-03-17) x86_64

$ lshw:

In dmesg I see:

 dmesg | grep eth0

[    0.668629] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 enp0s25: renamed from eth0

Why would this be?  I have never seen it before on Debian Linux of which I
am a user since 1995.
