I think you're better off forgetting about ifconfig and using ip in
its place; that's the direction things are heading. From Packages:

Package: iproute2
...
Description: networking and traffic control tools
 The iproute2 suite is a collection of utilities for networking and
 traffic control.
 .
 These tools communicate with the Linux kernel via the (rt)netlink
 interface, providing advanced features not available through the
 legacy net-tools commands 'ifconfig' and 'route'.

Cheers,
David.
