Comment (by kallisti5):
I'm not 100% sure that something doesn't come in later and call SetName,
but the NULL check at https://git.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/network/libnetapi/NetworkSettings.cpp#n585
means it's a big unknown.
I think the NULL check is there as a generic "if no NIC name, apply static
IP to the first nic", however that creates a lot of unknown behavior.
If someone swaps a NIC, we really should start ignoring the configuration
for it since with multiple NIC's things get a bit complex.
Maybe that NULL check should be returned as B_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND?
