I don't think so.  ifconfig and ip administer the system-wide network
interfaces.  All the write operations require root privileges.  The read
operations don't, but if they are called by an unprivileged user, it is
still for the purpose of system administration and I don't think it's
unreasonable to expect the user to go to /sbin .
