Why rely on the deprecated "ifconfig" and not use the "ip" command? ifconfig/route shouldn't be used by anyone anymore these days.

I am planning to include "ip" support also, since "ifconfig/route" are kind of deprecated. I had to use same tool for parsing Solaris and AIX interfaces also and some older Linux versions. I was not having accurate information where "ip" command is supported so I started with "ifconfig" to satisfy my use case.
