its ifconfig, not ipconfig

1. install rootsh
2. start terminal
3. type "sudo gainroot"
4. type "ifconfig"

ALTERNATIVE:
1. start terminal
2. type "/sbin/ifconfig"

You can also type : "ifconfig wlan0"
or some other name, and then you see the one you want.

Also, in linux, the ifconfig command also allows you to modify configuration and not just view it like "ipconfig".

I found this thread only because I was wondering... wtf is with requiring root privileges to 'ping'? I use ping all the time, and by the way, no one mentioned that all you need to do is 'sudo ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' where the IP address is the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Doing things as root is bad... and the fact that you have to use root privileges to do something as basic as ping is stupid.

There apparently is already a bug report out there https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700

That's just nuts. Anyhow, thought I'd add a bit to this thread and say the above works, 'sudo ping' and 'sudo ifconfig'

You always need root privileges (well, CAP_NET_RAWIO capability) to ping - it's just normally set-uid root which makes this transparent to users.

On a related note I was also looking for traceroute and could not find it, but i did find mtr which is kind of a top-y kind of traceroute/ping tool.
Code:
Nokia-N900-02-8:~# apt-cache policy mtr-tiny
mtr-tiny:
  Installed: 0.75-3
  Candidate: 0.75-3
  Version table:
 *** 0.75-3 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free Packages
        500 http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
output looks like this

My traceroute [v0.75]
