[gentoo-user] ifconfig vs iproute2

[Martins Steinbergs]

hi

what is the difference in general between these - ifconfig and iproute2?

i used old style /etc/conf.d/net and it worked well until system last update i 
run - net was gone. made new style /etc/conf.d/net but ifconfig version 
refused to work, lucky i got windoze on other drive to get iproute2 source 
from mirror. ok, now net is working but im still confused about ifconfig not 
working, got these setings for single box connected to i-net, is there 
somethin' wrong?

hotplug_eth0="yes"

modules=( "iproute2" )
here i tried both modules

config_eth0=( "some_IP netmask some_IP broadcast some_IP" )
routes_eth0=(
	"default via some_IP"
	"::/0"
)
