"sudo: netcfg2: command not found"

Whenever I try to connect to my wireless network using ArchAssistant I get the error:

sudo: netcfg2: command not found

Netcfg seems to be on version 3 (the command for which is simply 'netcfg'). Is there a way I can tell Archassistant to use 'netcfg' instead of 'netcfg2'? Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Re: "sudo: netcfg2: command not found"

symlink netcfg pointing at netcfg2

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/netcfg /usr/bin/netcfg2

or even easier if you are the only user, use an alias by editing ~/.bashrc and adding

alias netcfg2='netcfg'

both will result on running netcfg when launching netcfg2 (if you choose to edit .bashrc and use an alias, you must exit and reenter session to apply changes)

The symlink did the trick. Thanks!
