Interface name for wlan changes randomly causing network manager to not be able to reconnect
by linuxuser371038 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M80C)
Happens after things like closing laptop (sleep) and reopening and also when starting libvirtd, which seems to shunt other interface names to different names including wlan and mobile interface. Wlan0 become wlan1, then wlan2 etc.
How can I either stop the interfaces changing or make the network manager profile's interface name use something non mutable like how you do with hard drives in fstab using uuid and such? I looked in the nmcli man however did not see any pertinent information to do this though was not certain what searches to do to find. I searched under ifname but didn't find.
Currently I am having to go into the network manager profile and edit it to the new name and reload each time which stinks.
