Wifi and Ethernet mixup

[vamfoom]

On my Asus Maximus VIII build with a Broadcom Wifi/BT adapter, Catalina 10.15.7 is incorrectly identifying the wifi as ethernet while the ethernet adapter is identifying as wifi. Is there a way to change this?

Yes there is a way to fix this.

I would do the following:

1. Delete the WiFi and Ethernet entries from your System Preferences > Network pane.
   1. Use the minus button at the base of the pane to delete all the devices listed.​
2. Open Hackintool and navigate to the Utilities tab
   1. Select the GateKeeper icon (third from the right along the bottom) this will mount your Catalina drive in Read/Write mode, which is necessary for the next stage.​
3. Navigate to the /Library/Preferences/System Configuration folder.
   1. Delete the NetworkingInternfaces.plist.​
   2. The plist will be regenerated after a reboot.​
4. Reboot your system.
5. Navigate to the System Preferences > Network pane.
6. Using the Plus sign at the bottom of the device pane.
   1. Add the Ethernet device, then​
   2. Add the WiFi device, then​
   3. Add the Bluetooth device.​
