I did a clean installation again and did not run the update - upgrade command. I'm thinking of not updating - upgrading until the problem is corrected.

Yes, it looks like something may have snuck in Friday from upstream. Please don't update until we have a chance to isolate and correct. Thanks for the report.

This should be fixed with kali-defaults 2020.1.0.

To disable the MAC-based naming, kali-defaults is now setting up this symlink:
ln -sf /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/73-usb-net-by-mac.link

This regression is related to a change in systemd 244-2 that replaced the former udev rule with this systemd configuration file.
