Description

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this but i recently stumbled upon this error a little bit ago on windows 11 even tho this command was working perfectly before. Running ``spoof list`` returned devices without a name but with a MAC address and i couldnt do anything to randomize my adapter. I just figured out how to fix it so i thought i'd save you guys the time and effort

1. Simply open your settings, go to Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings

2. Under Network Adapters, find your Wifi Adapter. For me it was the second one.

3. Click the Dropdown and under "Rename this adapter", rename it to something like wi-fi

4. Restart your command line and then run ``spoof list``. You should see Wi-Fi come back

5. Run ``spoof randomize Wi-Fi`` or whatever the device name is under that command

I hope this is helpful to anyone. I know nothing about node js so i cant really help much, i kind of just aimlessly stumbled upon a solution after two days. Thank you feross for creating this amazing command, it's saved me a bunch :)
