为了更加方便的调试和使用wfb-ng软件，解决由于设备枚举发现时命名可能存在无法与硬件一一对应的问题，需要锁定实际硬件网卡与逻辑WiFi接口。

1. 源由

Raspberry Pi Zero W硬件本身自带一个WiFi网卡，其内置PCB天线的特殊性，仅能用于调试和近距离维护使用。
wfb-ng真正需要的是大功率发射的无线网卡，如果在设备发现阶段将设备逻辑WiFi接口自动命名为调试，那将会极大的影响传输距离和性能。

2. 需求

• Raspberry Pi Zero W硬件自带WiFi网卡，用于调试维护。
• 外置usb大功率无线网卡，用于远距离传输。

3. 分析

udev（userspace/dev）是Linux内核的设备管理器。作为devfsd和热插拔的继承者，udev主要管理/dev/目录中的设备节点。同时，udev还处理将硬件设备添加到系统或从系统中移除时引发的所有用户空间事件，包括某些设备所需的固件加载。

这里我们将使用到这软件来处理上述需求。

4. 步骤

因为网卡MAC地址是唯一的，因此用于绑定WiFi接口是不二之选。

4.1 确认网卡MAC地址

• Raspberry Pi Zero W

板载WiFi：b8:27:eb:53:31:30
USB-WiFi：0c:91:60:03:5b:62

• Raspberry Pi 3b+

板载WiFi：b8:27:eb:a6:3c:f3
USB-WiFi：20:0d:b0:32:da:3a

4.2 修改udev配置文件

• Raspberry Pi Zero W

pi@piCamera:~ $ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/75-wifi-interface-name-change.rulespi@piCamera:~ $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/75-wifi-interface-name-change.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="b8:27:eb:53:31:30", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="w*", NAME="wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="0c:91:60:03:5b:62", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="w*", NAME="wfb-rf1"

4.3 配置重载&重启

 $ sudo udevadm control --reload$ sudo reboot

4.4 确认逻辑网卡接口

• Raspberry Pi Zero W
