ifconfig is /usr/sbin/ifconfig, and it's normal for it not to be found from a user prompt (users don't normally get sbin in their path). But if it's not found for root, it's because net-tools isn't installed.

User's should get used to running the ip commands instead, such as "ip link", "ip addr", etc. The ifconfig command is being deprecated, though not quite obsoleted yet.
