Install ifconfig package.

    I found it hard to believe that Solus didn't already have it by default. It would have made it easier for me to resolve a connection issue I had a while ago.

        WetGeek It's apparently a deprecated tool and hence it's separated to its own package.

            Thanks, I didn't know that. Seems strange that ipconfig still works fine in Windows (10). Usually they seemed synchronized.

                WetGeek ifconfig has largely been replaced by ip. You can use ip a for address, ip -s for stats, ip route for packet routing....you get the idea.

                    Thanks. It's a little less descriptive than ifconfig, but I guess it works.

                      ifconfig deprecation announcement was made in 2009. We're almost in 2023 😅
