This problem first appeared after upgrading to kali 2019.4.

I did a clean installation again and did not run the update - upgrade command. I'm thinking of not updating - upgrading until the problem is corrected.

Yes, it looks like something may have snuck in Friday from upstream. Please don't update until we have a chance to isolate and correct. Thanks for the report.

Edit file
73-special-net-names.rules
with your favorite editor
in /etc/udev/rules.d/

copy/paste in this information. remember, each rule needs to be on it's own line and reboot...

wlan0

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?",
ATTR{address}=="00:01:02:03:04:05",
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1",
KERNEL=="wlan
", NAME="wlan0"

This should be fixed with kali-defaults 2020.1.0.

To disable the MAC-based naming, kali-defaults is now setting up this symlink:
ln -sf /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/73-usb-net-by-mac.link

This regression is related to a change in systemd 244-2 that replaced the former udev rule with this systemd configuration file.
