As user in a console try /sbin/ifconfig. That's where it resides in most linux 
system.

Alternatively become root with 'su -' followed by 'which ifconfig' that tells 
you where ifconfig really lives.

Unless /sbin or where ever ifconifg lives is in your console environment 
variable PATH you will have to explicitly specify the whole path to ifconfig.
