Because I'm using IP4 and appletalk networks so my interfaces have an
EtherTalk address.

ifconfig finds interfaces configuration by reading kernel exported
/proc/net files.

Quick test:
ls -l /proc/net
modprobe appletalk
ls -l /proc/net
you have a new /proc/net/atalk directory.
rmmod appletalk

But ifconfig uses the old (linux 2.4?) name /proc/net/appletalk
