When you have many /tmp/wifi-{date}__{time}.log
files, then this is how to get rid of them (it happened to me on a fresh Sierra machine):
At least on macOS Sierra (10.12):
- You can see what WIFI related components have debug logging enabled with:
shell# /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug
- You can disable all debug logging with:
shell# /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug -AllUserland -AllDriver -AllVendor
For whatever reason, the debug logging flag was enabled for ‘DriverWPA’ on my machine and that resulted in /tmp/wifi-{date}__{time}.log
files getting generated when joining new WPA2 protected WIFI networks.
