I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 on a Dell E6410.
- Dell E6410 comes with a default Wifi adapter: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200.
- I additionally plugged in a realtek
rtl8192cu
adaptor
I can clearly see which adapter is under using from the right-top side of Ubuntu 13.04 ---- the network configuration icon.
However, I'm wondering, is there a way to show in the bash by using command line that:
- How many Wifi adaptors on my system for now?
ifconfig
only shows there are 2 wifi adaptors, and I can seewlan1
is under using, but which adapter corresponds towlan1
? and which adapter corresponds towlan0
? - I can clearly see the MAC addresses of two Wifi adapters, but
lsusb
only shows the connected USB devices without showing their MAC address. And the default Wifi adapter coming with the laptop is not a USB device.lshw
takes me such a long time to show clearly the MAC address for Centrino Advanced-N 6200 and the MAC address for realtek rtl8192cu.
So, I'm wondering, is there a simple but direct way to compare both Wifi devices?
