It should definitely be command-line compatible with the traditional
ifconfig syntax and every effort has been made to make it so. If it
is not, it is a bug and that should be fixed. Unfortunately, your message
gives us no clue as to what was actually wrong with ifconfig on that
system. Please try to supply the following information:

 1. How was it invoked? A compete command line, please.
 2. Did it display any diagnostic message. If so,
    what exactly did it display?
 3. What was its exit code?
