Hi,

I've searched but couldn't find anything... What are the equivalents to ipconfig /release /renew for the N810?

Thanks!

Edit: Ahh found it, ifconfig.

ifconfig/iwconfig are the equivalents to ipconfig. Sorry, I don't know about release/renew. Probably dhclient or dhcpcd (which one is on the IT, I don't know. Mine isn't here yet )

Well, I figured out that iwconfig is accessible in x-term via /sbin/iwconfig and that I have to be root to do:

/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 down
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 up

But after I did this it seems the connection wouldn't work?

You need to specify the SSID and stuff:

Code:
iwconfig INTERFACE mode managed essid SSID power 1 key WEPKEY
That assumes you're using WEP. For WPA, you need to use wpa_supplicant. Either way, you probably need to add

Code:
dhclient INTERFACE
or
Code:
dhcpcd INTERFACE
