Public bug reported: The 73-special-net-names.rules file from 229-4ubuntu5 is renaming USB wifi network interfaces that I create manually with "iw phy phy0 interface add wifi0 type managed":
# Use MAC based names for network interfaces which are directly or indirectly # on USB and have an universally administered (stable) MAC address (second bit # is 0).
