I had some trouble with my wifi connection so I figured, I could switch on logging for airport via
sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug +AllUserLand +LogFile
Now as far as I remember, the +LogFile
should redirect the airport debug log from kernel.log to wifi.log. Checking Console, I notice that there is no wifi.log under /var/log/. On a closer look, I noticed that kernel.log disappeared as well.
After some googling I found this post, in which it says that kernel.log was merged into system.log. Now if that is true, I'm suspecting that the reason I can't locate wifi.log might be that it was perhaps merged with system.log as well. Does anyone have some further info on this?

wifi.log.0.bz2
– use Console.Included with the operating system is a diagnostics app that can enable debug logging. With that level of logging enabled you can then use Console to:
