# iw
Command for interacting with a wifi interface.

## Check what interfaces you currently have
```
iw dev
```

Might see output like this:

```

```

## Delete monitor-mode interface
```
sudo iw dev wlan0mon del
```

## Recreate managed-mode wifi interface
*(This is helpful if you type `iw dev`) and nothing is listed for your wifi interface.*

```
sudo iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type managed
```
