I was only showing that comparing Linux’s ifconfig with BSD’s ifconfig is not fair, not really making any point. I don’t see how this is all that confusing though, you get ip for managing routing and iw/ethtool/etc for managing interfaces or creating interfaces on lower networking levels or device level. It’s just different.
