wlpls0 instead of wlan0

Post by Nikneita »

Hello. I have a question related to my internet adapter. When I enter the ifconfig command, instead of wlan0 I get wlpls0, and this name cannot be used, for example, to scan networks. What should I do?

Use the right name. It's not wlpls0, but wlp1s0. Number 1, not letter L. :wink:
