Hi,

I'm trying to change mac address on N9, I was able to execute ifconfig located in /sbin after getting root acces... but only once. Since then, no way to execute ifconfig any more ! ls -ifconfig in /sbin shows me ifconfig, if I type ifconfig, I get

sh: ifconfig: not found

Any idea ?

Thanks for helping

Works ! Thanks

Sorry fot the stupid question, but why doesn't "ifconfig" alone work if my working directory is /sbin ?

Ok, now with the command ifconfig wlan0 hw ether macadress, I get:

ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not permitted

Does it have something to do with Aegis?

because you are not root or at least do not have the shell with all env vars of root (need /sbin in PATH)command to excute something not in path is
{dir}/command
in your case
/sbin/command
or also possible (current dir)
./command

Same applies here. No root access.

Ok, it seems the root access on N9 (devel-su) doesn't give the same level of privileges as the sudo gainroot on N900.

I have to find out how to get this acces on N9.

Inception installed, nothing changed...

Solution found on HFR, the correct syntax is:

develsh -c "/sbin/ifconfig ..."

You always have to do such things in develsh.
Probably you did not enter develsh at all, trying to use ifconfig?
I was able to execute ifconfig located in /sbin after getting root acces... but only once
This told me you know that already, but ...

You may activate the develsh (root access) also just via
Code:
develsh
and then enter your command(s).
Syntax of
Code:
develsh -c "command -parameter"
just executes this command once with root access from normal shell.

I thought entering devel-su & password give full root access, just like sudo gainroot on N900.
