[Solved] Where did ifconfig go?

I can't find ifconfig in the repositories, where did it go? Did it get replaced by some other package?

$ sudo ifconfig
sudo: ifconfig: command not found

$ sudo pacman -S ifconfig
error: target not found: ifconfig

Thanks, just needed net-tools, I had no idea that ifconfig was part of that package, atleast it is a standalone package in debian

Just a hint: To find out which package holds a given file try "pkgfile" from the "pkgtools" community package.
