Yeah, I know :-) I was just surprised that no-one else seems to have worked out how ip can be used *without* ever having read any documentation for it...
Sure, without the documentation you can pretty much figure out how to do what you can already do with ifconfig or route. Which begs the question of why you would go to all that trouble, since you can already use ifconfig and route. Especially since using ip makes linux gratutiously unfamiliar to the legions of users of other unices that have been happily using ifconfig and route to do the same things for years. Mike Stone
