network interfaces: my internal NIC is wlan0 by default. switching over to wlan1 for USB NIC












0















So, my internal wifi is wlan0 by default. when I connect my USB wifi "dongle", the dongle becomes wlan1. ok, that sounds legit.



but I kinda want the opposite. when i connect the dongle, i want it to become wlan0 and i want my internal to become wlan1. i want it to reverse this process when i remove the dongle. (internal becomes wlan0 again)



additionally, if i had a third or fourth dongle, i would want that to just continue the normal chronological scheme. (wlan2, wlan3, wlan4)
