What's wrong if > ifconfig? > arlconfig(8) looks functionally identical to wicontrol(8), not to ifconfig(8). As such, it's probably best to rename it to arlconfig(8). I agree it doesn't make sense to duplicate options already provided by ifconfig(8), but it looks there are some options (and in wicontrol(8) too) that aren't supported by ifconfig(8), these should be kept. (While wicontrol(8) has a history, this tool doesn't, so no point for duplicating ifconfig(8) functionality.)
