Thanks Mike, I found the same thing to be true when using several older devices, ralink, realtek, also the b43.Mike wrote:<snip>L_V wrote:I cannot believe one second that creating a null link on a file unused by Stretch can be a solution or even a workaround.
The problem is not NetworkManager, but udev, /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link being provided by udev.
Just out of curiosity even though the system is pretty clean now, I'll install a minimal stretch with no backports to confirm. I have loads of drive space so its not that big of a job to have another installation.
Disabling predictable names either thru the null link for 99-default.link or net.ifnames=0 kernel parameter, fixes the issue.
Turning off (or tweaking the mask) in MAC randomization while scanning also fixes my issues, BTW> the two things seem related.
