Hi,
I'm installing and configuring Arch on my new build.
I got a Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N PCI Adapter, which needed firmware according to dmesg. I installed that firmware (I think it was in linux-firmware) and I can set the interface up via ifconfig now.
However, if I try to run iwconfig, bash says that it is not recognized.
I tried pacman -S wireless-tools and pacman -S iwconfig, but those didn't work.
In addition, my 50m ethernet cable (the only one long enough to reach my PC) just broke, so if I need files on Arch, I gotta do it via the partition that Windows and Arch share.
Could someone help me get iwconfig back?

I needed the firmware for the rt2800, by the way.
I used this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … tup#rt2x00

Post the output of bash when attempting to use the command. Also, what do you get when you try 'which iwconfig'?

iwconfig is owned by core/wireless_tools, not wireless-tools. Do 'pacman -Qs wireless_tools' to check if you have it installed, it won't return anything if it's not installed.

$ iwconfig
-bash: iwconfig: command not found
no output, so that means I've got to make sure I have a connection, and then run pacman -S wireless_tools?

Whoohoo! Thanks, it works
