AirPort - how is is woven into the Mac's architecture?

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2018-07-28 09:29:25 I'm curious about how AirPort works because it doesn't show up as a PCI expansion card or a PCMCIA card port. Very strange. Just got a first rev card and popped it into the QS after having taken a baseline Profiler/TattleTech screen shot. Almost no change at, just Ethernet built-in (Wireless) added to Network overview in ASP. Surprisingly, there was no change whatsoever in the Devices and Volumes report in ASP.  I dug a bit deeper, looking at TattleTech's Ports (Misc) report I found the enet1 port addition and odd changes to the enet0 port. The "Child Ports" of ddp1 and adevv802x1 remain enet0 which had been the logic board's Gigabit implementation and now appears to have morphed into Airport? Very curious, this is under 9.2.2, is there more info available under OSX?
