Surprised to see that took 25 months to sort out.
And a little surprised to read this written by M. Biebl on 4 Nov 2019:
"So the mere fact that iwd was installed changed the way the interfaces
are named. You don't actually have to enable/start iwd."

....because that does not follow the so-called "Principle of Least
Surprise".

Short story: iwd is faster than udev.
