Feature added by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #307200, revision 1 Title: Replace ifconfig by iproute2 - add warning messages to old tools openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Description: Because Novell once again cannot be convinced, I am putting https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492665 to public vote here. net-tools (/sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/route, arp, etc.) has numerous problems, not to mention that it is not developed since April 2001 anymore. Since April 2004, iproute2 is available as a replacement for ifconfig, but users still use the old tools with the seemingly-crippled functionality. I propose printing a warning message upon invocation to try and educate users to finally use the modern tools. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307200
