Did you try it as root, using su?

you need to login as root. su only changes your UID. su - actually loads the shell and executes the path and such. This is why you dont have ifconfig when you only su because it cant find it in the path.

hope that helps.

try 'man su' for more info

ifconfig is in /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/ so it should be
/sbin/ifconfig
or
/usr/sbin/ifconfig

you don't have to be root so skip su.
