It is systemd/udev that renames the interface. This is standard
procedure. iwd decides it knows better and, no matter what, does
it. I have never met this sort of behavior with wpasupplicant.

So we will be more forceful and have

  net.ifnames=1

on GRUB's kernel command line. My choice is ignored by iwd. Why does
it not want an interface to be renamed by systemd/udev?
