Support wdutil since airport utility is deprecated

airport utility is deprecated. Support wdutil.

[dilawar]

wdutil doesn't list all the wifi connections available in the neighborhood. @radiohertz any ideas?

sudo wdutil info

Hi! I was looking for a solution to a different problem, but maybe this will help with a solution. Just execute in the console:

system_profiler SPAirPortDataType

system_profiler SPAirPortDataType -json works pretty well and easy to parse too.

Thank you @VladislavGatsenko. It almost works. In newer versions of Macos, the BSSID field is no longer available. Looks like no cli utility returns this value anymore. In old version one could use https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/120174/107023
