you are right. ifconfig USE to be able to do this, but now it is just a
shell? over ip and so...
So now to undo a lot of changes and see if I can get back to everything
working.
ip (and ss, bridge, tc, and other iproute binaries) and ifconfig (and
route, netstat, brctl, ... and other net-tools and bridge-utils
binaries) use different kernel interfaces.
AIUI, the ifconfig interface is deprecated but kept for backward compatibility.
