[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] ifup eth0

[From: abhijit.gupta at wipro.com]

Hi,
   I am developing a control panel applet and want to configure IP address from the applet using
ifup eth0 command. But I am not able to execute this command as it needs root permission to execute
the command.
    I am running the command from applet using system command.

system("ifup eth0").  I also tried to execute following script from control panel applet

sudo gainroot
ifup eth0

but it did not work, it changes to root shell but ifup runs in old shell.
  Any idea, how to get avoid this permission problem ?

Best Regards,
Abhijit
