try
find / -name ifconfig
as root
otherwise fedora has another command for the ethernet configuration.

These are the results of the search

[root@paparoubas sbin]# find / -name ifconfig
find: /proc/8763/fd: No such file or directory
/sbin/ifconfig

I ve tried to run ifconfig from the /sbin directoty but I still take the same error any ideas??
