:-) I wanted to be able to read it - and the OP had said that he had Wheezy, so I knew that he had ifconfig. If you remember, I got in trouble the other day for saying that the command is "ip". ;-) I just wanted to be able compare what he had as ip in /e/n/i and what ifconfig said, to see if they tallied. Or to suggest it to the OP. ;-) So a "pretty" quick summary was ideal. And no, ip is not easier to parse. It may be for you, and even for most people - but I find it so difficult to read that it is hard to get anything out of it. (And I do mean read - physically read). But ip clearly gives more information - _if_ you can read it. ;-) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
