What's all the fuzz about this "sudden" change? iproute2 is part of linux (kernel) since 1999 or so.
- exikyut 8y agoIt promptly got filed under "ah, learn that one day", then after coming up enough times got relegated to "ugh, stop bothering me about it, I'll get to it eventually" and everyone has been un-motivated-ly unimpressed about it ever since. I think.
- toxik 8y agoFWIW I can usually never get ifconfig to do what I want it to, but with ip it's usually fairly straight-forward.
- kankroc 8y agoArchlinux ships this as default now (and has for about a year) and I think Ubuntu is doing the same. Thus people are increasingly being exposed to iproute2.
