ip uses completely different from ifconfig command line syntax. Read man ip to learn it. (It's not that hard, just different). Also, one thing that bothered me for long time. There's no netstat in the package. Instead the program is called 'ss' (it is installed in /sbin I believe). The command line syntax for this program is the same as for netstat.
