[Nodeshot] ifconfig vs ip addr

[Nemesis]

Read here the comments here:

In particular:

/"One more thing though: Your friends are totally right about iproute2
being the future. But on many systems, particularly embedded ones,
you're still more likely to encounter the good old ifconfig, the
iproute2 package might not be installed. So if you want to make your
abstraction layer portable, you'll probably have to account for both. –

I think he's right.
