Change wifi adapter name shown in settings Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
I have 3 wifi adapters installed on my laptop. On setting, under Wifi, I can see them but I am not able to change the name they display (in the case of the second adapter, the name is so big that makes the opened window to grow all the way to my second monitor). See picture attached.

Is there a way to rename them? Besides that, I would like to hide the Broadcom adapter if possible (it is already blacklisted).
Thank you for your help.

Those long names that you show us are a function of hardware and driver software, and really can't be changed easily. Is there any specific reason why you have/need three wi-fi adapters on a laptop?
