[solved] Persistent changes to wireless card settings

Hi,

I'm tuning my wifi setup and the configuration changes I make to the physical device do not persist after reboot (somewhat expected). Example:

iw phy0 set retry long 15

What is the usual way to make these configurations permanent? udev rule? systemd unit?

I'm using iwd and iwctl to manage the connection by the way. My wifi card is a quite old and terrible performant Ralink RT3062.

Thanks!

udev rule

^ This.

Something like

# /etc/udev/rules.d/81-custom-wireless.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wl*", RUN+="/usr/bin/iw phy0 set retry long 15"
