[DNG] ifconfig vs ip

Hi All, I am working on some cdist scripts for setting up some network interfaces. So far I am modifying the /etc/network/interfaces and then bring down and up the interfaces. For a while now /etc/init.d/networking has a warning that it is deprecated. I understand why. So I issue: # ip address
