These values are currently defined: ... NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device [...] Switch to that so that reading /sys/class/net/lo/name_assign_type produces something sensible instead of returning -EINVAL.
