Issue netcfg in adb shell.It will show all interfaces. It depends on device What name it has.

  1. Turn off Wifi, Issue netcfg and check the interfaces.
  2. Then Turn ON Wifi/WiFi-Direct(depends on devices that enabling wifi enables p2p too), Issue netcfg again and check the newly enabled interfaces.

I hope you can figure out wifi and/or p2p interfaces.
