Hi All,
I have recently installed ArchLinux and have been experimenting ever since. I have my wifi set up through netcfg which uses multiple profiles so I can connect wherever I am. I have also settled with XFCE desktop environment, and am happy so far but I have a tendancy to swap and change a lot.
The on issue I have is when attempting to use the wavelan plugin in XFCE. As soon as I add it to the panel it crashes and in tty1 I get:
sh: /sbin/ifconfig: No such file or directory
I know that net-tools has been deprecated, is there anyway round this?
I tried searching for this issue by googling and on the forum/wiki. Apologies if it has been already solved!
Thanks,
Matt.

You still can install it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FA … is_X_in.3F

I guess net-tools is technically depreciated, but I'm used to it and it seems to work fine.
In the interest of the most simple & elegant solution, how about
pacman -S net-tools
However, (and I run XFCE too), I recommend NetworkManager & network-manager-applet for WiFi as it makes dealing with encrypted networks much easier.

Cheers karol, much appreciated. Still getting used to the littler things like AUR and the amount of updates. Last distro was Debian!!
