Probably the same thing I'm doing by hand on my homebrew box.

Of course, I could be running a newer version of ifconfig than you.

kliren:~# ifconfig -V
net-tools 1.60
ifconfig 1.42 (2001-04-13)

From my experiences, I can't say that I'm having any problems with it.  I can
ping that interface and get replies from it, so I'm assuming it works.
