I am sorry but I don=B4t understand about modular ifconfig and about "to =
phase
out those sorts of programs out". But I am agree about that would be a
question for Sam.

So we have to wait now.

It's unlikely athctrl will be commited because we're attempting to phase
those sorts of programs out in favor of a modular ifconfig.  It's not
clear to me if we the support or not at this point.  That would be a
question for Sam, but he's on vacation at the moment.
