[CentOS] firewalld being stupid

Greetings,

One of my biggest frustrations with CentOS 7 has been firewalld.

Essentially all of the documentation just flat doesn't work.

One common thing that needs to be done is to change the zone of an 
interface, however I've tried:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --change-interface=ens192
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-interface=ens192

I've also tried setting in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens192:

ZONE=internal
ZONE="internal"

No matter what, when firewalld starts, ens192 will be in the public zone.

What am I doing wrong? Why does the documented command structure not work?
