No.

I would like to make code Using Network classes

simply, you cannot.

this task is not platform independent, so you have to use Native APIs or QProcess to launch external program

As stated, the network classes do not support this.

If you require this functionality in code (rather than just executing the said application), you could always include the code from ifconfig source (but of course, this would mean you must not license your application under a more restrictive license than ifconfig itself)
