What command in debian for networkin configuration?

[DJ-dOoK]

Is there any program that Debian 2.2 has to configure the network and/or cards? If not, what script(s) do I need to edit to make my changes?

YOu could always use linuxconf and use the networking section and if you don't have that just apt-get it.
OR
look at and add you interface /ip info to
/etc/network/interfaces
then add an alias to
alias ethX mydriver
/etc/modutils/aliases

then use update-modules

then use the route command to display / edit / add routes

I think that should cover most of what you wanted to know if i forgot something i apologize because it is late.

Good Luck!

Wouldn't advise that ... some linuxconf modules (notably netconf) won't work with Debian. It will accept the modifications but won't register them.

i sleepy so this might be wrong, but...

to set up your cards you want to use ifconfig
to set up complex network stuff use route (this might be wrong)
