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.

P.S. Michael is, of course, right that the tool for users probably
should not rely on python (or perl, et al). FWIW, I got the
impression that Johannes's tool was meant to use in the short-run
for developers...?
