Presumably that has to be caused by the hardware or the firmware,
which sounds decidedly flaky, and something the OS can do nothing
about, except work around it.
As for that, I would have thought that's pretty easy: you just set
an environment variable with the name of the interface in it, and use
firejail --net="$Mywiredifname" …
All my systems define that very variable, not because I have issues
with the OS's choice, but so that I can use the same script to scp
through the IPv6 link address to whatever machine is on the other
end of the wire (yes, I know, it's a cheat).
Cheers,
David.
