   the one annoying thing about MacOS networking is that it doesn't actively make an effort to migrate network connections over to ethernet if they were established on Wifi.
   
   Primarily I'm thinking network shares / time machine. This is where it would really be useful.
   
   I think I need to see if there's a script/utility/service I can run that will forcibly reset them when ethernet gets activated

     @sun well there is ONE dumb solution that would work: VPN to the local network from within the local network and then when you manually disable the wifi there is no actual disruption to the existing connections, they just change which physical interface they're using (for the VPN)

     This used to work fine when mac's had built in Ethernet. Macs would use the same Mac address on both hardwired and wifi meaning migration just worked.

     I haven't investigated trying to use a bridge or anything to replicate that though.
