Is that really what you mean to have?

As long as you have "source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*" in your
/e/n/interfaces file, then you can call the file wlp7s0, or wlp3s0,
or anything else, and it will be read. That line in quotes is now
the default in Debian.

BTW does this mean you've given up on iwd?
