Typing ifconfig on the command line gives me listings for several devices. I've seen at least the following ones: - lo0 - gif0 - stf0 - en0 - en1 - en2 - en3 - p2p0 - awdl0 - bridge0 What specifically do each of them refer to? I know en0 is a wireless connection, en3 is a connection using a Thunderbolt-to-ethernet adapter, and en1 is an ordinary ethernet connection. What about the rest?
