Welcome to the Genius Bar. Here's how this forum works:

1. Members are encouraged to make a guide that details something that they might have found troubling or challenging.
Chances are, if you've seen the same question asked over and over again, you should write a guide for it.

2. This is not the forum for asking questions. If you have a question about a thread that's already here, feel free to ask it.
Just don't start a thread for a specific question. Use the other forums here for that.

3. Posting links to off-site tutorials is not allowed.

4. That's it! Thanks for sharing your information with the rest of us. :)

To keep this forum clean this forum is moderated. You can post in existing topics but new ones will have to be approved before they show up.

If you are have the problem where your wireless is detected as a "Built in Ethernet" here is a simple fix.

Open Network profiler and figure out what en# your wireless card is, for example mine is en0 and my ethernet is en1.

Now open a terminal and type:
CODE
sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist


Scroll down to your en# and where it says:
CODE
<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>
<string>0</string>


Change the zero to a one. press Ctrl+x, then Y and then Return(enter)

Now type sudo reboot in the terminal and your computer will reboot with the airport detected as an airport!
