write udev rules for changing network interface name
Check card is detected or not
lsusb
All available interface list
ip a
Here i have realtek usb wifi card and name is “wlx2824fffa1dcb” & MAC is 28:24:ff:fa:1d:cb
Now we write a udev rules to change interface name:
Step 2 :
Create udev rules file
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
vi 75-wifi-interface-name-change.rules
# Add Rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="28:24:ff:fa:1d:cb", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="w*", NAME="wireless-usb"
ATTR{address}== → your card mac address
KERNEL== → detected interface name ( wlx2824fffa1dcb ) OR used ( w* )
NAME= → new interface name
Step 2:
Update udev rules
udevadm control --reload
reboot
