"It was originally released as part of the BSD TCP/IP suite - so in effect, it's part of the original internet toolkit. The ifconfig command first appeared in 4.2BSD."

Am I nuts, or are those incompatible statements? How could have been initially released in two places? If the "Berkley TCP/IP suite" was released in tandem with or as part of 4.2BSD, that should be more clearly stated in the article. If it wasn't, then perhaps that second sentence quoted above should read "The first time ifconfig command was made a standard part of an operating system was in 4.2BSD."
