## 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'
```
