Unable to change wlo1 to wlan0

Sphinx
#1

Hello to everyone, i’m a newbie, i’m trying to figure it out why sphinx doesn’t work, precisely:
when i press iwconfig as output i got wlo1 as my interface name, but in the tutorial First step — Parrot-Sphinx 1.2.1 documentation i have to write on command line

  • sphinx /opt/parrot-sphinx/usr/share/sphinx/drones/anafi4k.drone::stolen_interface = <“wlo1”>:eth0:192.168.42.1/24

i tried to not put even “” but will be as output:
bash: wlo1: File o directory not exists

can you please help me to undertand and resolve the problem?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Have you tried the following? There should be no space between stolen_interface and the equal sign.

sphinx /opt/parrot-sphinx/usr/share/sphinx/drones/anafi4k.drone::stolen_interface="wlo1:eth0:192.168.42.1/24"

You can also create a new udev rule to rename your wireless interface into wlan0: Troubleshooting — Parrot-Sphinx 1.2.1 documentation

[Err] [Machine.cc:1077] Failed to start anafi4k : net.hook/assign failed.
[Err] [Machine.cc:1084] Probable cause for this error: the requested stolen interface (wlo1:eth0:192.168.42.1/24) does not exist

the simulation started with a drone, but will immediatly shut down with this error

If you don’t need a wireless interface, you can just pass an empty ::stolen_interface= in your command line.

Are you sure that wlo1 exists and is a valid wireless interface and that your wireless device is supported? Check the documentation here: System requirements — Parrot-Sphinx 1.2.1 documentation

in the docs is written RTL8192CU based known to have problem, i don’t know if mine is based on this, do you suggest to buy a wifi adapter?
