network interface names

Hello there,


I was looking for some network settings on my MacBook and I am a little bit confused: When I do a


$ ifconfig


in a terminal, I get an output for the following devices which I tried to assign to the physical devices:


- en0 -> wifi

- en1 -> ???

- en2 -> network cable

- p2p0 -> ???

- awdl0 -> ???

- bridge -> ???


Now, I wonder if anyone could help me to identify the physical devices behind the ones with ???.

OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
