:-)  I wanted to be able to read it - and the OP had said that he had Wheezy, 
so I knew that he had ifconfig.  If you remember, I got in trouble the other 
day for saying that the command is "ip". ;-)

I just wanted to be able compare what he had as ip in /e/n/i and what ifconfig 
said, to see if they tallied.  Or to suggest it to the OP. ;-)  So a "pretty" 
quick summary was ideal.

And no, ip is not easier to parse.  It may be for you, and even for most 
people - but I find it so difficult to read that it is hard to get anything 
out of it.  (And I do mean read - physically read).  But ip clearly gives 
more information - _if_ you can read it. ;-)
