## Check the name of the interface
Check the interface name of your wifi adapter using 'ifconfig'. Usually, it will be wlan0 by default, but it may vary depends on the kernel and your device. On Ubuntu, for example, it may be named as wlx + MAC address. (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/)
If this is the case, you can either disable the feature following the link above, or replace the name used in the driver by
、、、
grep -lr . | xargs sed -i '' -e '/ifcfg-wlan0/!s/wlan0/<name of the device>/g'
