Description of problem: Service for renaming interfaces according to rules stored in /etc/iftab can be useful. Here example of ifrename.service unit file [Unit] Description=Rename network interfaces according to /etc/iftab Wants=network.target Before=network.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ifrename [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Also /etc/iftab config file with commented examples from 'man iftab' can be added.
Please just set a NAME= attribute with an udev rule. It provides a superset of the ifrename functionality without a need for an extra service.
