Aha, you're on to something: ti...@kg-home:~$ sudo ifdown usb0 ifdown: interface usb0 not configured ti...@kg-home:~$ sudo ifup usb0 * Stopping NTP server ntpd ...done. ti...@kg-home:~$ * Starting NTP server ntpd ...done. ti...@kg-home:~$ ifconfig usb0 usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 1e:2f:4c:2b:d2:53 inet addr:192.168.0.200 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::1c2f:4cff:fe2b:d253/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1620 (1.6 KB) TX bytes:3679 (3.6 KB) Thanks! It seems that it still works by using the ifdown / ifup scripts. annoying that good old ifconfig doesn't work anymore, but I can live with that. > PS And consider using "ip addr" and friends instead of venerable > "ifconfig". "ip" command is newer way of operating network > interfaces. Hmm, I found that one. What's up with that? Whay are they changing the established way of doing things? AFAICT, the ip command is a Linuxism. Not everything is better just because it is new.
