IIRC on suse, ifconfig is just a wrapper around ip anyway.
Ip does a lot more than ifconfig, including setting up routing tables and tunnelling, to name but two. You might also wish to take a look at the two with a "ls -l" (they're both in /sbin/), as well as the rpm packages each is in. Ifconfig is rather deprecated, but the package it comes in (net-tools) isn't.. for example, there is nothing in iproute2 to set a system's hostname. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
