Using the ip tool more closely resembles what is actually going on at the
kernel level. ifconfig has been hacked to allow the old syntax to work, but
it adds ip addresses to an interface, supplying the address with an address
identifier. However, it still is just another address on the interface.
ifconfig will get confused if you add more addresses to a single interface
without adding the 'pseudo-interface' address identifiers.
Doei, Arthur. (If this was too cryptic: I'm tired and drinking beer... :))
