ifconfig has been replaced by 'ip'  So try 'ip addr', for example.

i was finally kicked out of my lethargy about ifconfig/ip with the 
F21-arm testing.  Things about my interfaces just did not work right.  
ifconfig code is 'frozen', I have been told, and new stuff may not work 
quite as you suspect.

So 'ip' is the direct interaction with IP and the interfaces. 'nmcli' is 
to tell NetworkMangiler what you want done.

I HAVE switched to 'ip'.  I can learn 'nmcli'  (I keep telling myself!)
