Solution

Enumeration is controlled by the OS. It adds a serial number to distinguish between similar devices. Either you have an additional LAN connection or your registry isn't clean and contains remnants of older installations that weren't properly cleaned (e.g. you replaced your network card without unistall). You can attempt to resolve the issue by using one of the registry cleanup utilities that can be found in the internet or by manually searching the registry for an obsolete LAN drivers installation and remove them (careful with that, you can crush your system). In any case, this shouldn't have any effect on the functionality.
