I had some trouble with my wifi connection so I figured, I could switch on logging for airport via

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug +AllUserLand +LogFile

Now as far as I remember, the +LogFileshould redirect the airport debug log from kernel.log to wifi.log. Checking Console, I notice that there is no wifi.log under /var/log/. On a closer look, I noticed that kernel.log disappeared as well.

After some googling I found this post, in which it says that kernel.log was merged into system.log. Now if that is true, I'm suspecting that the reason I can't locate wifi.log might be that it was perhaps merged with system.log as well. Does anyone have some further info on this?

As far as I can tell, all the debug info from airport that used to be in /var/log/wifi.log is now located in /var/log/system.log. Also, the +LogFile option has disappeared. – altabq Mar 21 at 14:52
