If "which ifconfig" doesn't work, then use "locate ifconfig" or "find / -name ifconfig -print". One of those will for sure tell you the path of "ifconfig" and whether or not it exists on your machine. You have to be root to run these commands too.

/sbin/modprobe 3c509
uncomment the appropriate line - remove # symbol infront of /sbin/modprobe 3c509 in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to make the hardware available upon each reboot.
