Re: how to change wifi setting

[Long Wind <longwind2@yahoo.com>]

haven't i made it  clear enough? i rewrite below:

i often change wifi setting this way:

i open /etc/network/interfaces and change ssid and password

then save and  reboot to make /etc/network/interfaces to take effect

any command that i can use so that i needn't reboot?

i've tried your command:

service network-manager restart service network-manager restart

Failed to restart network-manager.service: Unit network-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory

You don't tell what is the reason you need to reboot.

If your wifi device driver crashes then possibly there is no other way
(with that device) than rebooting.  But if it is Network Manager getting
confused then maybe try restart it:

  sudo service network-manager restart

Or maybe install a newer linux kernel.

But it really is shooting in the dark - please provide more info about
what fails.
