Thread-topic: quick question on renewing DHCP programmatically and command line
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.0.0.071130
Note that it seems the service name is localized, so it depends in which
locale you are when invoking the tool. For example, in french, you'll type
this for the "Built-in Ethernet" device:
$ sudo networksetup -setdhcp "Ethernet intégré"
When the localized service name is found with:
$ sudo networksetup -listallnetworkservices
An asterisk (*) denotes that a network service is disabled.
Ethernet intégré
AirPort
Modem interne
Bluetooth
VPN (PPTP)
FireWire intégré
*usbserial
*usbserial
*Adaptateur Ethernet (en2)
FireWire intégré
However at a glance I don't see how to match the hardware port name with the
localized service name using this command-line tool.
