"this program" refers to openSUSE, right? instead of "ipconfig" the program is called "ifconfig" here. you call it from a command prompt, as root.
ifconfig should not be used.
Let us refrain from being pedantic here... There is nothing wrong with using ifconfig the way most windows users use ipconfig: namely to obtain a quick list of interfaces and the information about them. In fact using ip for this info gathering is a bit of a pain. Its not the preferred method of configuring an interface, but then windows users virtually never use ipconfig for that either. Its clear from the context that the user was looking for the equivalent of the windows command ipconfig which really does not allow configuring interfaces, and has only its info gathering ability in common with ifconfig. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
