Cannot connect to/disconnect from any WiFi network, due to ifdown & ifup not being avaliable on ArchLinux(Raspberry Pi)

[kv1dr]

Ifup and ifdown is not avaliable on ArchLinux, at least on Raspberry Pi. Since they are not avaliable I can't connect to or disconnect from any WiFi. I made a script to call 'ip link set $1 down' for ifdown, so disconnecting now works, but I can't do that for ifdown, since 'ip' command doesn't have '-o MAC:ADDRESS' and other switches. Can you somehow implemet connecting and disconnecting using 'ip' command or something? Thanks

Hi @kv1dr,

I'm actually using the /sbin/ip command for a feature that's on a branch. It would be cool if I could use that one command for everything, there are lots of things that working with ifup and down make hard, I would like a different way to connect. I'm almost done with my semester here at school. Afterwards I will have some time to dedicate to this. I think I will try to do this.
