setup internet on command line
I would like to know how I could connect to my adsl modem/router on the command line.
The network is running on dhcp and WAP.
It's easy to connect in the gui but I would like to know how to do it on the command line.
Furthermore where can I configure this to happen automatically on boot.

Thanks for the replies. This seems to recreate a connection to my isp. My router already creates the adsl connection I just want to link to my router through the wlan using dhcp.

okay in that case you need
Code:
system-config-network-tui
but it should work out of the box as your adsl router is a dhcp server. |

Sorry u did not mention that u are using a wireless access point, am not sure if there is an easy command line tool for that as it normally works via networkmanager which is a gui application
