I assume that when you run the command you are getting a "ifconfig: command not found" error.
Easiest thing to do would be to do a whereis ifconfig Typically this command is placed in th /sbin directory. Since you said that you can su to root then I assume you can make sure that your user account has the appropriate permissions to execute this command. If not then you get set them.
