ifconfig is no longer supported (by default) in Ubuntu.
you can use a tool with nearly the same actions which is ip, for example if you want to check your wireless card IP address it can be done as follow:
ip address show
If you really need ifconfig it can be installed using this command sudo apt install net-tools
For a detailed answer you can refer to this comment here
