At least I would have read it :). So if I want to keep the old behaviour, I should override this and replace NamePolicy=keep kernel By something like NamePolicy=path keep kernel But then I will also need to launch iwd with "--nointerfaces" in order for it to ignore the not yet renamed interfaces. It looks to me like it's a bit too much to do in order to use the predictable naming scheme. Anyway thank you very much!
