> 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.

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