"ifconfig eth0 up" doesn't work, cause of "no such file or directory"
Hello community!
I've got a problem with my network. I've rebooted the system and after it, the network couldn't come up. I entered the command "ifconfig eth0 up". The error message sayed, that no such file or directory available is. I think it's exactly this error message:
Quote:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
I also stoped and started the /etc/init.d/networking. The /etc/init.d/interfaces is always the same, like before as it still worked fine. DMESG also doesn't say something interesting.
Well, I haven't got any idea left. Can you help me?
Which distro? The ifconfig command has been deprecated and many distros have switched to its replacement, the "ip" command. Using the new ip command, the equivalent to "ifconfig eth0 up" would be:
# ip link set eth0 up
For ip eqivalents to ifconfig typical commands see generally:
