iwconfig, ifconfig availability?

[cm1967]

hello all,

i'm a recent convert from ubuntu to fedora. when running ubuntu, i would regularly use ifconfig and iwconfig. i can't seem to find these tools under fedora. is there an alternative or is it possible to get iwconfig and ifconfig?

thanks!

Try:

/sbin/iwconfig ifconfig
or

/usr/sbin/iwconfig ifconfig

OR open a terminal window and su - (su dash) to root and type:

iwconfig or ifconfig

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, running /usr/sbin/iwconfig ifconfig or /usr/sbin/iwconfig iwconfig doesn't work. Even as root.

I tried ifconfig and iwconfig before posting this question and it didn't work.

Thanks for your help!

See the Fedora Basics FAQ (http://www.fedorafaq.org/basics/). You must use "su -" to become root.
