I'm running a python script to configure the wifi interface, but I'm having a problem with the ifdown and ifup command. It looks like this command has been replaced by:

sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo ip link set wlan0 up

But I can not use this command since I'm using wifi library to interact with these files and programs. The file /etc/network/interfaces:

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

iface wlan0-kenta inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid kenta
    wireless-channel auto
    wpa-psk #here has code apparently in hexadecimal representing the password,
            #I have already tried to switch to the character password.

How can I fix this problem?

  • Why are you using these bizarre commands? None of these are used in current Raspbian.

  • I'm using a python library that when trying to connect to a network, uses this command to disable and enable network interface.

I saw this thread on stack overflow which seems to use the wifi library. Maybe it will work for you.

  • Thanks, but this did not work for me, now I wrote my own wifi network configuration library that did not need this command.

  • @kenta And does it work now? If so, please make an answer to tell that your problem is solved. This will also finish your question.
