key must be [d:]index:data where
  'd:'      means default (transmit) key
  'index:'  is a single digit (0-3)
  'data'    must be 5 or 13 ascii char
            or 10 or 26 hex digits
for example: d:2:6162636465 is the same as d:2:abcde

The following link should use HTTPS instead of plain HTTP: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ -- Fturco (talk) 14:12, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Consider the following sentence: "Some wireless cards may have a device name of wlan0 or ra0 instead of wlp9s0." We should add a Path template around "wlp9s0". -- Fturco (talk) 14:30, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
