Mon cher
It's been quite a while since I heard from you. I hope everything's well with you and your family!

What did you mean? What are the three files?

Could you elaborate please?
Did you mean that in a terminal, I type
sudo ifdown wl01-nw22
or
sudo ifup wlo1-nw22

That seems to be a good idea.
So I moved wlo1-nw15, wlo1-nw51 and wlo1-nw70 to /etc/network/unused-interfaces/ leaving only wl01-nw22 in /etc/network/interfaces.d
However, when I typed the following in a termminal
sudo ifdown wlo1-nw22
The error was
ifdown: interface not configured
or
ifdown: unknown interface
The output of
ip addr show
show that my wireless interface is called wl01
I appreciate your help.
Best regards.
Stella
