Well, we'll see what ends up happening, but for now...

Remember, I'm a total Linux newbie. I have literally JUST installed the wireless tools package using the...

rpm -Uvh wireless-tools-28-1.ppc64.rpm

...command, and am now trying the "iwconfig eth0" command, but getting a "command not found" error. Am I missing a step? Do I first have to somehow open the package, or load the module? Do I have to be in a specific directory? Is there some small or tiny step that I'm missing, now matter how mundane it may be? Remember, again, total Linux newb; some step that may be taken for granted as common knowledge is probably unknown to me.

This is such a fundamental error (and no one else seems to have had it in the comments section) that I can't help but feel like it's me doing something wrong. How else could people at least get the commands to work on the exact same configuration that I have?
