What do you think ? I think I'd lean to a separate tool, analagous to ethtool. Anyway, the problem with using ifconfig is that it is generally considered to be deprecated in favor of 'ip' (i.e. the iproute2 utility). So increasing dependence on ifconfig would seem to be a bad idea. John P.S. Michael is, of course, right that the tool for users probably should not rely on python (or perl, et al).
