How do I restart networking?

[vhadiant]

Hi,

How do I restart networking in an Unslung system? Normally I use
/etc/init.d/networking script which does not exist in Unslung system.

Thanks,
Victor

:) If you are experienced with Linux enough to know and use the
/etc/init.d/networking script, then I suspect you probably want to run
either SlugOS or Debian on the NSLU2, not Unslung.  That script does not
exist on the Linksys firmware; rather the entire network startup is
handled by a huge binary blob for which we have no source code.
Restarting that does far more than just reset the network; my experience
has been that it's easier to restart Unslung rather than mess with that
- it amounts to the same thing.
