Fun, it looks like there's a new upstream release for the net-tools package.  The ifconfig(8) output looks a little different, now.  Old:

(destiny:22:10)% ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1c:c0:b2:8d:bd  
          inet addr:10.3.5.107  Bcast:10.3.5.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21c:c0ff:feb2:8dbd/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: 2001:48c8:1:105:21c:c0ff:feb2:8dbd/64 Scope:Global

          Interrupt:20 Memory:d3300000-d3320000

New:

(destiny:22:14)% ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

I wonder how many screen-scraping tools are now broken..

Now, that all being said, you should really be using ip(8) instead of ifconfig(8).  It's 2015.
