73-usb-net-by-mac.rules is no longer used in Bullseye for USB ethernet devices?

My internet connection is off the ethernet port of a PCI-E card that also
has USB ports on it, so the ethernet device is recognized as a "USB
ethernet device"...

Back in Debian Buster, I learned that the "predictive" naming of this USB
ethernet interface would be governed by "73-usb-net-by-mac.rules" and so I
had it configured accordingly with a config file in
/etc/network/interfaces.d/... Namely that the device name would basically
be its MAC.

Well, I just upgraded to Bullseye, and I can't bring up the darn
interface.  I have tried fiddling around with the device name in my config
file in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ directory, but it just won't come up.
The Networking.service also fails during bootup.

I also noticed that the 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules file has completely
disappeared, never mind that the official Debian NetworkInterfaceNames page
here <https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames> still talks about it!

Anyone know how the heck this is supposed to work in Bullseye?

BTW, the device shows up as disabled in lshw (I obfuscated the MAC in the
output):
