[systemd-devel] system is not match systemd.link configs

[Henti Smith]

Good day everybody

I have two link files for mvc-sw1 and mvc-sw2.

# mvc-sw1
```
# Fixed MAC and name for eno2 (Switch 1 connection) when debug board is
plugged in
# Renamed to mvc-sw1 by PCI Address and set custom MAC address.
[Match]
Property=DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/0000:05:00.0/net/eno2

[Link]
MACAddress=02:00:00:00:05:00
Name=mvc-sw1
```

# mvc-sw2
```
# Fixed MAC and name for enp6s0 (Block Diagram) when debug board is plugged
in
# Renamed to mvc-sw2 by PCI Address and set custom MAC address.
[Match]
Property=DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:06:00.0/net/enp6s0

[Link]
MACAddress=02:00:00:00:06:00
Name=mvc-sw2
```

I update the initrd file and rebooted and the system comes up with eno2 and
enp6s0 instead of the expected mvc-sw1 and mvc-sw1.
Looking at udevadm info I get the following
```

ID_NET_LINK_FILE seems to indicate it used the link file, but I'm not sure
why the interface names were not changed ?

I'm on Ubuntu Focal 245.4

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Kind regards
