Interface is disabled on startup

[not-in-stock]

I'm encountering an issue with the driver. The network interface is disabled on startup and it seems that changing /etc/network/interfaces doesn't do much.

So in order to have interface enabled from the start, I'm using the following workaround:

• enp4s0 is the name of the interface on my system
• networkd is enabled

$cat /etc/systemd/network/20-enp4s0.network
[Match]
Name=enp4s0

[Network]
Description = Wireless Home
DHCP = yes

Unfortunately, private wireless parameters can't be changed with networkd like in iwpriv. so to set WirelessMode I'm using another systemd config

$cat /etc/systemd/system/enp4s0-set-params.service
[Unit]
After=network.target
Before=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=iwpriv enp4s0 set WirelessMode=9

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

@not-in-stock Thank you for sharing your workaround. When I installed the driver it worked until the first reboot and never again until I found this fix. I sunk quite a few hours into troubleshooting what I thought were DHCP issues. Thank you again for taking the time to type this out. While I'm here @mareksuscak thank you for maintaining the driver!
