Who needs ifconfig with windows?
any user who can open a cmd session can run IPCONFIG /ALL

The same can be queried remotely using WMI
Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration  WHERE IPEnabled=true

That depends... what do you mean by untrusted media?
Many OSes, even certain versions of Linux that support Firewire can be
coerced into running arbitrary code, by plugging in a malicious
firewire device,  unless there is an IOMMU or other measures
protecting against malicious memory access when a DMA is requested

Various hardware devices, and drivers have vulnerabilities, even
without 'autoplay'.
And some *ix distros do support 'autoplay-like' functionality.
