My previous queries were geared for specific diagnosis of what ifconfig
was doing or expecting, and whether it was behaving like netkit's
ifconfig. From reading the bug reports, I gather that the output of
those tests would have indicated that Michael's ifconfig is *not* being
supplied by net-tools but by another package (what does `dpkg -S
/sbin/ifconfig` say?). This other package (perhaps inetutils-tool) may
be using the GNU ifconfig rather than the netkit ifconfig.
