Network connection from command line
Hi,
I have wireless card and can connect to Internet using network-admin. It is fine, but I want to do the same from command line. In Ubuntu community I found "WiFiHowto" page which recommends "ifup" and ifdown" commands. When I try
> ifup eth0
I get message
"eth0=eth0 interface doesn't exist"
or something like that (I don't remember exactly). But if I run
> iwconfig
responce looks like
...
* eth0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"NETGEAR"
...
(I ommited lines for more details and for loopback interface)
My assumption is these commands require configuration of /etc/network/
So, is there any command-line analogue to network-admin using the same configuration data? Or may be I misunderstood process of network configuration?
