+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cli: Do nothing for `persist-nic-names` when got
+ `net.ifnames=0`
+
+When `net.ifnames=0` is defined in kernel argument, systemd will disable
+the predicable network interface name which make no sense for nmstate to
+pin the interface names. Hence we do nothing in `persist-nic-names` in
+that case.
+
+Manually tested in CentOS stream 9 VM.
