...or you're using about any unix other than Linux. This makes the post on par with the old joke that Ubuntu was supposed to be an ancient African word meaning "I can't configure Debian".

<sarcasm> Great. You've got a new tool with incompatible options that will require rewriting network scripts worldwide. </sarcasm> Can you provide a good TECHNICAL reason why ifconfig fails to perform the task it performs every day? Would it have been too hard of a design task to make ip's command line compatible with ifconfig?
