Yep, this was a new install. Even though I tend to reuse old configurations
from previous installs, this very much happend with an untouched new
install (only deviation from a "default" was xfce instead of gnome).
I disabled the NM but at that time the names were already like they are
right now. 

BTW. all those "try on disk" were sent to stderr and I piped only the
stdout into my previous mail, that's why they were missing.

That was my initial thought.

Yes, and I see that in dmesg happening for eth0. However that does not
happen for the wlan0. I can see the firmware being loaded but no name
changing to predictable pattern.

FWIW
