Tested with net.ifnames=0:

WiPi adapter: no longer I see "unavailable" in all ~25 cold boots.
TP-LINK TL-WN725N: no longer see "unavailable", but 2 times from ~25
attemts it becomes "disconnected", as it simply does not "see" any
WiFi networks which is not correct. Rescan does not help. Replugging
device make it work again.

So I guess TP-LINK has additional issues - sometimes it does not
"boots up" correctly and does not see any networks.

But in the end, net.ifnames=0 workaround helps to avoid "unavailable"
state at least.

I guess that's kinda proves NetworkManager issue due to device
renames? Rare race condition?
