[SOLVED] Missing network tools, ifconfig and route

Hi,

It looks like I am missing some network tools.

Is there any package that I need to install using pacman?

ifconfig is missing.

find / | grep ifconfig

Returne nothing.

Also "route" give nothing.


Any ideas?

Best regards,
/Christer

yes. Read the announcements. net-tools has been deprecated. Use iproute2 for it. You might also need to install yp-tools for domainnames
