network interfaces: my internal NIC is wlan0 by default. switching over to wlan1 for USB NIC
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom: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)

maybe if i just set my internal to be wlan1 permanently, that would make things easier? how would i also do this. i am currently reading about ifrename.

udev rules could be a solution to this perhaps unix.stackexchange.com/q/255715 or another hint might be predictable network names freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/…

What's the purpose of trying to rename network interfaces? What version of Ubuntu are you using? How many active dongles do you need? Later versions of Ubuntu got rid of the old-style wlan0/wlan1 naming, for a newer "more consistent" naming convention that is supposed to be consistent across boots.
