Currently, a lot of net/__init__.py is implemented exclusively for 
Linux systems which have the `ip` utility.

I'm trying to make this code run on FreeBSD, and short of adding `if`s 
all over the place, I'm a bit stuck on how exactly to handle this.

Does the call-hierarchy in cloud-init prefer methods / Classes 
(re)defined in a specific distro file?

given similar uses in other parts of the code, i started with something 
like this:
