One option might be a udev rule like this: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="iwlwifi", NAME="wlan0" So when a device is added using the driver iwlwifi, rename it wlan0. Use the correct driver for your setup. Normally the persistent network udev rules are mac address or pci slot based, but they don't have to be. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
