Task / BSD / Linux set ip / ifconfig / ifconfig or now "ip" which is extremely confusing wifi / ifconfig / iwconfig speed / ifconfig / miitool or ethtool duplex / ifconfig / miitool or ethtool vlan / ifconfig / vlan wol / ifconfig / miitool or ethtool bridge / ifconfig / brctl link aggregation / ifconfig / flags while loading module OR use distro network config scripts and restart *all* networking or reboot server!!! Zero guidelines or direction in their projects. It's even more painful when you install a distro and need to set vlan or duplex and you can't because the utility needs to be installed from the repository. Not sure if that's still commonplace but I was bit by it several times with debian installs. BSD has its own problems, but code quality and the thought put into design seems to be taken into serious consideration before something is committed to HEAD.Received on Mon Apr 29 2013 - 17:38:52 UTC
