Interesting man page difference:
Stretch:
Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network
interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up interfaces as
necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debug-
ging or when system tuning is needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the
currently active interfaces. If a single interface argument is
given, it displays the status of the given interface only; if a
single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all
interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures
an interface.
openSUSE:
Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network
interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up interfaces as
necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debug-
ging or when system tuning is needed.
WARNING: Ifconfig is obsolete on system with Linux kernel newer
than 2.0. On this system you should use ip. See the ip manual
page for details
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the
currently active interfaces. If a single interface argument is
given, it displays the status of the given interface only; if a
single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all
interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures
an interface.
