iproute problem

I installed the iproute package from pacman and when run "ip" I get:

# ip link set dev wlan0 up
cut: link: No such file or directory
cut: set: No such file or directory
cut: dev: No such file or directory
cut: wlan0: No such file or directory
cut: up: No such file or directory
#

Somebody has the same problem?
Somebody knows why doesn't works "ip" for me?
I'm trying to get my ArchLinux box as a wifi router with HostAPd (if this works I will upload the PKGBUILD of hostapd to AUR).

Thanks and regards,

Ricardo Honorato Z.

PD: Sorry for my poor english.

Re: iproute problem

It appears you don't have the cut command on your system - although I don't know how that is possible, since cut is part of coreutils. What does

which cut

show you?

Re: iproute problem

OK - no problems there. :?

I can't think of anything in particular that might be causing this, but try a pacman -Syu, and a reinstall of both iproute and coreutils.

I have iproute on my system, and it's working fine. That doesn't help you at all, I know, but it rules out any problems with the package.

Re: iproute problem

Rata it seems your ip command is replaced with some script or you have some alias defined. Obviosly it tries to run the 'cut' command.
