There is apparently a bug in the parser of iproute2 where the command
`ip link show <devname>` will not show the device but list all
interfaces (equivalent to `ip link show`) if devname is equal to one of
the flags of `ip-address(8)`. For example, `home`, or `optimistic`.
This bug causes a false positive in the clean up command of the
<devname>-netdev.service, the service fails and the interface is never
configured.
To avoid the bug we can simply use `ip link show dev <devname>`.
