How do you get correct ethernet/mac id of your local network card using python script? Most of the article suggests to parse the output of ipconfig /all on windows and ifconfig on linux. I am sure that this solution would work on windows but I am a linux starter and not sure the reliability of ifconfig on linux distros. Couple of other solutions on linux are:
Code:
def getHwAddr(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
info = fcntl.ioctl(s.fileno(), 0x8927, struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15]))
return ''.join(['%02x:' % ord(char) for char in info[18:24]])[:-1]
What is the Linux command to clear IP address of an interface without bringing it down and/or restarting network services. Seems strange ifconfig is able to change IP address but has no option to clear it, or am I wrong?
EDIT:As simple as ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0. They should have put it in the man
In my red hat Linux machine there was a Lan card using eth0. IP is asign to that network card and it is functioning properly. I add another ethernet card in my linux machineit was detacted and when i use the commandQuote:[root@localhost root] # ifconfig -ait show me both eth0 and eth1 lan cards.I can see Ip address in my eth1 ethernet card but When I enter into
Code: [root@localhost root] # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and i use ls command it only show me the file ifcfg-eth1 and with
I have a usb device that is setup to use a networking interface. When I connect the usb device, ifconfig automatically shows a new interface "usbX", and it has an assigned IP address, e.g. "192.168.X.1" - yes, the "X" is the same number between the address and the interface name. Each time I connect the usb device, it gets a different ip address...
192.168.9.1, 192.168.10.1, etc (actually the device address ends in .2, the PC is .1) How do I configure this device to always have the same address? Or maybe it's more accurate to ask, how do I configure linux to always assign the network address with this device?
I had had my internet connection working using PPPoE, but after I did some tweaking and configuring on the machine (configuring Samba), I wasn't able to connect to the internet and on the syslog said:Code:Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARPI'm using dynamic IP address on my internet account. Is this problem related to Samba server configuration that is running?
have a doubt about the multicast address.I have read that IP and ethernet multicast address have the same last 23 bits. While an ethernet multicast address always starts with 01:00:5E. Changing the last 23 bits of the IP address into hexadecimal form and "adding" them to the first 24 bits we find the ethernet address but what about the missing bit??? For istance I have: 230.11.111.10 = 11100110.00001011.01101111.00001010 So converting the last 23 bits I have b:6f:a The final ethernet address will be 01:00:5E:b:6f:a . And what about the missing bit?
I've just arrived at uni and to set up my wifi apparently I need my "media access control which is listed as the phsyical address for ethernet adaptor local area connection." on windows you can find it by using the command ipconfig /all but that didn't work when i put it into terminal.
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
I want to configure multiple virtual ethernet interfaces over a single physical ethernet interface (eth0) and for each virtual interface the MAC address must be unique and the IP address must be Static.Finally all the virtual interfaces must be able to communicate both internally and externally and the traffic should be captured using wireshark.
I need to have such kind of setup to communicate devices individually using one physical ethernet device.
Because I was fiddling with few kernel modules like MACVLAN and MACVTAP and successfully enabled those modules and rebuild kernel. Using macvlan and macvtap I can configure virtual interfaces with unique mac address and static IPs but while capturing packets using wireshark interfaces behave weirdly.
For example say on HOST machine I have 1 physical interface and created 3 virtual interfaces as shown below.
First from above interfaces I started pinging eth0 internally from host machine in which it worked as usually.
Second I did same externally from other machine which is connected to the same network of Host machine, and this did work as usually.
Third I pinged first virtual interface veth0 both internally and externally and this also works and after that I did check source and destination MAC address using wireshark tool-where both showed up there respective MAC address.
Now triggers the issue, where I pinged second virtual interface same like I did for first one, but this time ping was success and where as in wireshark tool the MAC address for veth0 is picked by veth1. This is where I got stuck and this issue happened for all the remaining virtual interfaces.
I couldn't see any virtual interface showing their respective MAC address, as of the remaining except the first virtual interface has been picking the first veth0 mac address.
it was working but after i installed updates and rebooted it could not get a ip address seems like strange timing it still registers under ifconfig it is not even working on the live usb anyway i can test to be sure it is the chip?
I have an HP Pavilion A6750F with an AMD Phenom 9650 Quad Core. 8 GB memoryThe NIC is a REALTEC Semiconductor RLT8111/81688 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller.The actual MAC address for the NIC is 00:24:21:55:DE:40I have loaded CentOS 5.3 on this host three of four times in various configurations and patching levels.THE PROBLEM: The system identifies the NIC as having MAC FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.When this happens, the network connectivity obviously stops working.It identifies everything else OK, just maps the wrong MAC.I'm no sure how to troubleshoot this problem. I tried rebooting a couple times and once that fixed it. Usually it does not. I reloaded (gasp) Windows Vista on it and it worked ok.This last time, I reloaded CentOS it hung on the bootup (ASK ??), I reset it, it rebooted and everything looks ok; for now. The system says it is presently using driver r8169
im REALLY new with linux and ive downloaded and installed Ubuntu...now heres the question.how do i set up WLAN internet use? ive tried using ipconfig/all on windows command but im not sure which info to use where save for the Physical Address going towards the MAC Address info
I have a function definition in a Python 2.x script which take a tuple as one of its arguments, but 2to3 has no answers nor any of my searching on how to represent the same in Python 3.x
I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works) DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).
My laptop was working fine on wireless till the userinterface changed and it defaulted to ethernet and now it won't let me go back on wireless How do i disable ethernet?
Due to this problem, everything that uses python is not working.
/lib/librt.so.1: symbol pthread_barrier_wait, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:22:21) [GCC 4.4.1 20090818 (Red Hat 4.4.1-6)]
Every one would be much familiar dat a python compiler is available with Ubuntu. I found it and i just thought to learn python coz the coding is easier with python. Can someone tell me which one is better- python or java and i should learn which language?
I'm trying to write a script in python to extract data from maillogs in gz format. I wrote a shell script but i now want to do this in python, as thats the preferred method where i work. anyway does anyone know how to specify directory paths for example the maillogs exist in /var/log so i want the script to go to that directory would LOG_DIR="/var/log/" work?
I am using ubuntu hardy and python 2.6.5 (built from sources). For a custom python packager I need to rebuild python interpreter (python executable). I am new to linux and don't have much knowledge of gcc and other stuff. Here is the process:1. Copy python.c as myapp.c. myapp.c is in the same directory (python2.6.5) in which I have all the required files. 2. Using the syntax from makefile of python sources, here is my first command to produce myapp.o
Code: gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -IInclude -I/home/zeno/installed/Python-2.6.5/Include -fPIC -DPy_BUILD_CORE -c myapp.c -o myapp.o This produce myapp.o but throws a warning:
Code: myapp.c:24:2: warning: no newline at end of file Next is to produce the executable or python interpreter: Code: gcc -pthread -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o $@ myapp.o -L. -lpython2.6 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -o myapp This is causing an error: Code: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
