Description:
According to http://www.archlinux.org/news/deprecation-of-net-tools/ , /sbin/ifconfig is deprecated. However, /sbin/ifconfig is launched in the /etc/rc.d/network init script (I've got an error for the l. 68, but it also launched in lines 78, 111, 191 and so on).

Additional info:

Deprecated means usage of this feature is not encouraged, but it still remains for a transitional period. It does not mean it has been removed. ifconfig is still in /etc/rc.d/network for legacy support until we decide its time to remove it entirely (probably a long time from now).
