network location "automatic" is missing
I had an iMac with Mojave and for some time I have needed to change the network location to get the internet connection to work at startup
At some stage I accidentally removed the "Automatic" location setting.
I have now a new iMac with Catalina
I populated the new Catalina iMac with the contents of Mojave machine.
Now Automatic is still missing for the Network setting
& I still need to create a new location for time to time
so...
2 questions
- Is "Automatic" just a name (same a a created new one) or is it some kind of special location setting
2 Is there a preferences file that controls the locations?
I tried removing and re creating a new wi-fi network but the Locations did not re-set
I'd like to remove or replace that preferences file (I have a copy of preferences form a fresh instal of Catalina)
