Hm, turns out I do not have that interface on Network Manager. So something
else is preventing it from working. I don't remember if ifdown;ifup picks
up the file. I think it does but a reboot fails to run the local file. I
really need to recheck that and then check in here again.

It acts as if the file is not even seen since there are no selinux problems
reported for it. So that makes me think something spooky is going on.
