Hello,

it turns out a lot were indeed involved:

1. BOOTIF= cmdline made NM dracut module create 'Wired Connection' 
profile at cmdline stage
2. my provisionning software (xCAT) set 'netroot=xcat' at cmdline stage
3. NM dracut module called /usr/sbin/netroot with ifname as arg searched 
in the statedir at initqueue/settled stage
4.netroot constructs a handler name from netroot value and executes a 
script installed by xcat (/usr/sbin/xcatroot) which creates the 
ifcf-enp33s0f0 without a NAME attribute, which NM id's as 'System enp33s0f0'

thank again for your help
