broctl errors related to replacement of ifconfig

Hi Folks,

On later versions of Linux distros iproute2 replaces ifconfig with ip

Starting at line 601 at https://github.com/bro/broctl/blob/master/BroControl/config.py

It looks like ifconfig is hard-written into the logic. Probably needs a patch to check for the ip command.

Cheers,
Harry

track this at https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1540
