No, ifconfig doesn't do all that.
The 'example provided' is only a list of options.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're probably thinking of something
more like this:
===
# eth0 here is manually configured ethernet, brought up by hand
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.2 1.1.1.3
dns-search newdomain.local olddomain.local outside.com
# wlan0 is wireless auto-configured by dhcp, brought up automatically
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
===
Assuming you have resolvconf and wpa-supplicant installed, it should work.
But unless you use wireless in a stationary PC, you would do better to
use 'wpa-roam':
===
# 'default' should not be marked 'auto'; IT IS MAGIC!! ;)
# the wpa_supplicant plugin will bring up the logical interface specified
# by 'id_str' in wpa_supplicant.conf, or 'default' if id_str is not
# configured.
# The physical interface you run wpa_supplicant on will be used for
# any logical interfaces.
iface default inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
===
"-i CONFIGFILE" is optional; it defaults to /etc/network/interfaces.
