I think it's pretty safe to assume that modern Macs will always have en0 as the WiFi adapter, but if you wanted, you could use `networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder` to find the associated device.
- JonathonW 1y agoModern Macs do not always have en0 as the WiFi adapter (it's en1 on current iMacs and on the Mac Studio; en0 is the ethernet jack). But you're unlikely to be taking one of the machines that has built-in ethernet to the airport or coffeeshop.
- bc569a80a344f9c 1y agoDuh, also true on my Mac Mini. But yeah, “modern Mac laptops” probably makes the statement correct enough and still describes the entire set of targets.
- commandersaki 1y agoSo this doesn't work if your wifi nic is associated with an SSID. `airport -z` disassociates the SSID. Can't seem to find a CLI command to do the same in macOS 26, but I haven't looked too hard either.
