Lost Wi-Fi after running USB to Ethernet driver I recently bought a USB to Ethernet dongle, and I ran the package script and restarted the computer, only to find that I had the infamous ‘Wi-Fi: no hardware installed’ issue. I've tried:


Reset NVRAM
Reset SMC
Moved and renamed /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

Ran the AHT, and entered recovery mode.


On attempt 3, after it didn't work, I undid it.
On attempt 4, I found no hardware issues, and when I clicked the link, I could connect to Wi-Fi.

I decided to brute-force my way to a solution. I first ran the AHT by holding down "d" while booting up. Then I held down Command R when booting up, and reinstalled the OS. That worked.
