Hi,
the 'nic' tool in mainline can display link status. I had the idea that it
could replace nicconf, but there's one catch, design-wise. 'nic' is meant to
be an administration utility - but nicconf is more of a debugging tool - it
allows you to set things you normally probably don't want to touch (either
parameters that would be changed by the network stack's upper layers, or not
at all). So I am not sure if I'd like to introduce the debugging features of
nicconf to nic. One alternative would be to have two utilities, one for
standard administration, one for debugging. (Perhaps it could even be used
to send some test traffic and such).
Thoughts?

Are you aware of similar independent endeavour of Jiri Svoboda in the
mainline branch?
