--- Comment #2 from Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <marieheleneka@gmail.com> ---
I believe this happens because ifconfig requires the address family (inet,
inet6, link, possibly others) to be the first argument to the program. Not
passing 'inet' works because there's code to make it default to 'inet' for
historical/backwards compatible reasons. Essentially, ifconfig is doing exa=
ctly
what the man page says it should be doing here.

I have a fix for this (and other similar bad UX scenarios) on my todo, but =
it
involves rewriting how ifconfig parse and process arguments. I won't start =
work
on it until after libification of ifconfig (libifconfig).
