Moreover, now, when I connect my usb wifi adapter to my Bubba 2, I get a new interface, the wlanN, where the N is a number, from 1 to 5 so far. How can I setup this, to always get the wlan0 name of the wifi interface? -- Regards from Pal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
