You need "DEVICE=..." or "HWADDR=..." for a NIC to be identified.
As I said, I have only HWADDR= (as well as a convenient NAME=).

The OP has "HWADDR=...".
Yes, he has "HWADDR=" and "NAME=Something not related". Which is
what I have and isn't
causing any issues. Thus, my conclusion that a missing "DEVICE=" is unlikely to
be
important. If it is, then all of my systems would have been in trouble a while back.
