On my last Linux installation, my laptop's Intel/Realtek PXE wireless radio device had name, as seems to be common, wlan0
. I like this name; it is nice to type and remember.
That was Linux Mint 14.04, which I've upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10. Now, the same radio has name wlp2s0
, as reported by ifconfig
. I imagine this is an update or change to either the kernel or the rle*
Realtek driver since 14.04.
Is there a way I can change it back to wlan0
?
