It looks like your BIOS is reporting the same PCIe Slot for both your igb and 
Broadcom network cards.
I assume one of your Broadcom network interfaces is already named ens6f0.

In fact., this might be a BIOS issue...
whats the output of `sudo dmidecode -t9`?

Best solution for you is probably to set all or some network interface names 
manually, see https://wiki.debian.org/
NetworkInterfaceNames#CUSTOM_SCHEMES_USING_.LINK_FILES

Cheers,
Valentin
