    openSuSE ifconfig

    I hope this is in the right place if not let me know.

    I come from ubuntu were ifconfig is used to check my ip address and nic cards on my computer. I have openSuSE 11.2 on acer aspire 5515. When I run the command I get

    acer@linux-ukd8:/etc> ifconfig
    Absolute path to 'ifconfig' is '/sbin/ifconfig', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).
    You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/acer
    acer@linux-ukd8:/etc> sudo ifconfig
    root's password:
    sudo: ifconfig: command not found

    so what command do I use in place of ifconfig
