 # WiFi
 
 Use WiFi without a separate network manager with this simple guide. Needs "_dhcpcd_" (or "_dhcpclient_"), "_wpa\_supplicant_", "_iproute2_" and wifi firmware (like "_iwlwifi_").  
+The "_\<DEVICE_NAME>_" can be either "_wlp3s0_" or "_wlan0_". Change accordingly the following commands to suit your needs.
 
 * Create the configuration file (as "_root_", not "_sudo_"):  
 `wpa_passphrase <NETWORK_NAME> <PASSWORD> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`  
 * Delete non hashed password from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf  
 
 * Each time you need to connect type the following command (as "_root_" or with "_sudo_"):  
-`ip link set wlan0 down`  
-`ip link set wlan0 up`  
-`wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext`  
-`dhcpcd wlan0`  
+`ip link set <DEVICE_NAME> down`  
+`ip link set <DEVICE_NAME> up`  
+`wpa_supplicant -B -i<DEVICE_NAME> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext`  
+`dhcpcd <DEVICE_NAME>`  
 
 
 You can save the last step in a script.
