Created attachment 725485 [details, diff] remove the superfluous and problematic interface name check
I .. now realise my solution can't work because the check is necessary to keep the script from acting on any interfaces. .. didn't know the scripts were called one by one until one accepted the interface) .. don't immediately see a better way, since at this point the interface isn't created yet, and so we can't e.g. see if the wg commands accepts it. I'll go without netifrc for now..
