hi.
Briefly describe your issue below:
Change the interface name , was wlan1 became wlx00c0caa7459f . How do I do this correctly?

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
PARROTSEC 4.7

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)

That is really odd. Thank you for reporting this. I have passed this info onto the Parrot Dev team.

Also: a user posted a fix:

please let us know if it works for you. Sounds like same issue.

problem resolution
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
instead of the third line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet”
we write this team, we make replacement
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“net.ifnames=0”
save
and update the loader
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
everybody, reboot and rejoice.
