Well, in case you don't know it, you're using ifconfig to define
interfaces, too.
For example in Qemu you'd do:
$ ifconfig /dev/net/etherpci/0 192.168.0.1 up

and there it is. To configure a (non-working) loopback device, you'd
say:
$ ifconfig loop0 127.0.0.1 up

aah I didn't know you needed an IP address as well
