I want to know if it is possible to change the phy# index of wireless devices. Right now I have two wireless devices with this information:



elans@elans-TravelMate-P446-M:~$ iw dev
phy#1
Unnamed/non-netdev interface
wdev 0x100000002
addr X:X:X:X:X:X
type P2P-device
txpower 0.00 dBm
Interface wlp4s0
ifindex 4
wdev 0x100000001
addr X:X:X:X:X:X
ssid EGR Wi-Fi
type managed
channel 40 (5200 MHz), width: 80 MHz, center1: 5210 MHz
txpower 30.00 dBm
phy#0
Interface wlp2s0
ifindex 3
wdev 0x1
addr X:X:X:X:X:X
type managed


I want the device with phy#0 to be renamed to phy#2. Is it possible to do so? I have already tried sudo iw phy#0 set name phy#2 but this command seems to change the name, not the index.



This is the output of sudo lshw -class network:
