I made a quick little zsh alias for the wifi commands:

  wifi () {
  	local opt=$1
  	case "$opt" in
  		(on) networksetup -setairportpower en0 on ;;
  		(off) networksetup -setairportpower en0 off ;;
  		(toggle) networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
  			networksetup -setairportpower en0 on ;;
  		(scan) /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport en0 scan ;;
  		("" | -h | --help) echo "Usage: wifi <option>"
  			echo "option:"
  			echo "\ton\tSet Airport adapter on"
  			echo "\toff\tSetAirport adapter off"
  			echo "\ttoggle\tTurns wifi off and then on again"
  			echo "\tscan\tList available wifi networks"
  			return 0 ;;
  	esac
  }
  

Note that this is only tested on my computer, ymmv, etc.

I'm so glad I use linux so I don't have to mess around with shell scripts to get my laptop working.

I remember using Linux on a laptop; <sarcasm>everything worked so well without any tweaking whatsoever.</sarcasm>
