    Greetings silent0027, 

     

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your post, it sounds like you would like to remove the Wi-Fi driver from your Mac so that it cannot access a wireless network. If this is the case, there is a different process that I would suggest. 

     

    There are system protections in place to prevent modifications at the level you are asking about. I suggest removing Wi-Fi from your computer’s Network preferences opposed to removing the driver. 

     

    To accomplish this task from an administrator account:

     

        1. Click the Apple logo in the top left corner of the display and choose System Preferences

        2. Choose Network

        3. Select Wi-Fi from the bar on the left hand side of the Network pane 

        4. Select the minus (-) sign at the bottom of the list on the left to delete Wi-Fi from the Network pane

     

    The following article explains how to add a network service if you would like to add Wi-Fi back at some point.

    Best!
