I had already done so, but I don't see the "logical name" or the IP
of the wireless interface on my very "temperamental" DELL Inspiron
which seems to have a mind of its own. I only see the loopback
interface, the interface for for the wired network and USB connection
through which I tether my cell phone to the WiFi network:
$ sudo ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether c0:3e:ba:26:aa:93 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:0b:37:c4:ef:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$
when I removed my phone I still didn't see anything.
