In the connections window highlight one of the connections,
then click the gear icon at the bottom. You can edit the name there.
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

I checked all settings in "network settings" and "network connections" - there are no names as displayed in applet. It is network card name, that system somehow detects (or sets) in deep scripts.

this is my screen to show it is not: https://disk.yandex.ru/i/QLix9Z_nLsxUeA

Could you please give the screenshot?

To post essential details about your setup: Plug in all relevant dongles, accessories, and peripherals. Then

Open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following long line of green text into the Terminal window, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

C=code];echo "[$C`inxi -Fxxxmprzc0 --slots;mokutil --sb-state;cat /proc/cmdline;dkms status;ifconfig 2>&1;cat /etc/network/interfaces;lsusb;lsblk -fir;lspci -nnk`[/$C"|xed -
Within a moment, xed text editor pops open, showing technical data useful for others to analyze PC & peripheral issues.

Copy-and-paste everything from xed into a Reply here. < The required [code] tags have been added for you />

Since each of the three adapters can be identified by its Ethernet MAC address ...

ens33 00:0c:29:6c:6d:55
ens38 00:0c:29:6c:6d:5f
ens39 00:0c:29:6c:6d:69

... as well as port and bus ID ...

port: 2000 bus ID: 02:01.0
port: 2080 bus ID: 02:06.0
port: 20c0 bus ID: 02:07.0

... these could be used to create udev rules to define unique names. See Network Configuration > Change interface name.

Alternatively, there's the systemd-networkd service. See Systemd-networkd > Renaming an interface.

Post by andrew+1+2 »

@hglee, thank you for the advice. I'm still trying to fix, but with no luck.

The udev rules does something, but nothing changed yet. The systemd interface name change does nothing visible. I'll try study docs more.
I think I'm in one step to success. The screenshot with details. https://disk.yandex.ru/i/C9v5JZ3hPNvXow

Re: How to rename network adapters in network manager applet?

Post by andrew+1+2 »

It seems the change I need is placed within

Code: Select all

/**
 * nm_device_get_description:
 * @device: an #NMDevice
 *
 * Gets a description of @device, based on its vendor and product names.
 *
 * Returns: a description of @device. If either the vendor or the
 *   product name is unknown, this returns the interface name.
 */
const char *
nm_device_get_description(NMDevice *device)
The applet uses nm_device_get_description() for menu items list. So I need to change the network cards vendor name or somehow make it "unknown" to force draw the network interface name here.
