I don't have anything but Devuan Chimaera installed. wlan0 (and eth0) are the default names branded into the kernel. Unless a specific kernel command-line option is passed, udev or equivalent overules the default during the boot process. So there's nothing intrinsically wrong with those names— Devuan probably just sets "net.ifnames=0". Now, what do you know about the wireless hardware itself? Do you know what driver it uses? The chipset (I think you may have said previously, but I don't remember)? Is it one of the rfkill-encumbered chipsets? Is wpa_supplicant installed, or are you genuinely trying to configure everything via wireless_tools (iw*)? E.
