Don't use "vconfig", use "ip" :)

Seriously, I think that all network configuration should be done using "ip" and 
the only thing we need to achieve that is replace bridge handling commands.
Well, "brctl" is used by other services (like qemu), so we probably have to keep 
it in the system, but I doubt we need vconfig.

Well, it's one approach ... Another one is to remove it from the system ;)  and 
I personally have inclination to the latter.
