2. You have just set up a new wireless network at your house, and you want to determine whether your Linux laptop has connected to it and obtained a valid IP address. What command will give you the information you need?

Answer 1

To determine whether your Linux laptop has connected to the wireless network and obtained a valid IP address, you can use the "ifconfig" command.

Open up a terminal and type the following command:

ifconfig

This will display the network interfaces available on your laptop and their respective IP addresses. Look for the wireless network interface (usually named "wlan0" or similar) and check if it has an assigned IP address. If it does, it means your laptop has successfully connected to the wireless network and obtained a valid IP address.
