root@x# dmesg | grep rename
[    3.127628] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: renamed from eth0
[    5.302161] r8188eu 1-1:1.0 wlx10feed2673c7: renamed from wlan0

wf=wlx10feed2673c7

root@x# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
country=au
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="hi-fi"
        psk=#########
}

connected using cmd

root@x# wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i $wf


root@x# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlx10feed2673c7
allow-hotplug wlx10feed2673c7
iface wlx10feed2673c7 inet dhcp

is my /etc/network/interfaces is correct what is standard process of connecting wifi and "auto connect in future" (eg, reboot or wifi out of reange, then again in range) ???

or I have to use as it is?

auto wlan0
    allow-hotplug wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wifi connected ok, but i want auto connect , on boot, on signal in range

0 + 3

wireless

You could adapt my `bash script`: `https://github.com/waltinator/net-o-matic` It watches the connection, and when the connection drops, does a user-specified thing to try to reconnect.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
