Obsolete or not, I have macros built into my fingers that type out things like "ifconfig eth0" when I am fishing for answers. Otherwise I hand edit ifcfg-eth0 or its kith and kin. The GUI tool disappoints me when I try to use it.
I do something similar with the ip command. I usually use ip addr to list all of the addresses associated with all of the interfaces. Sometimes ip link, if I just want to check which ones are active. I also use it to add networks to a device when playing with cheap routers. You can just do something like ip addr add dev eth0 192.168.1.3/24 to let you talk to a reset router that comes up on 192.168.1.1 by default. I don't need to mess with the rest of my netowrking or change my config in a way that affects how things come up after the next reboot. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
