Hi Folks,

On later versions of Linux distros iproute2 replaces ifconfig with ip

Starting at line 601 at
https://github.com/bro/broctl/blob/master/BroControl/config.py

It looks like ifconfig is hard-written into the logic. Probably needs a
patch to check for the ip command.

Cheers,
Harry

We should probably check for the presence of the ip utility and use that, if present.
