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>`.
