netcfg - Cannot perform requested operation: Permission denied - android shell (minicom)

[Ashwini Singh]

Hi all,

I'm getting problem with running few commands (such as - netcfg,
ifconfig --help etc) over android shell accessed via minicom.

Its easy to regenerate -
open terminal. Issue command - netcfg.

Output -
Cannot perform requested operation: Permission denied

Desired Output (as this is eng build)-
output from the command.

Android Version - GingerBread & ICS.
Platform - PandaBoard.

- Can you please suggest a solution for ICS.
- Tried once. But, gingerbread solution is not working. I'm on it.
But, any help will be appreciated.

Thank You.
