In response to your first question. the way to get the ifconfig command to stick is to place the entire command, i.e., /usr/sbin/ifconfig ..... in the /etc/rc.local file. This file is the last file read upon system boot and is usually the one sysadmins edit for things such as this.
Hope this helps.

ifconfig
IFCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual IFCONFIG(8)
NAME
ifconfig - configure a TCP/IP device
SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [-I ip-device] [-h ipaddr] [-n netmask] [-iv]
DESCRIPTION
Ifconfig initializes a TCP/IP device setting the IP address and/or netmask. It will report the address and netmask set. This command may
be used if the system has not been configured properly yet. It is only used at boot time to set a fixed address for a system without a
physical ethernet. Normally the inet task will find it out by itself from the RARP server.
OPTIONS
-h The decimal TCP/IP address to set.
-n The netmask to set.
-i Don't set the IP address or netmask if already set. This way ifconfig cannot interfere if the numbers have been found out by RARP.
-v Report IP address and netmask. This is the default action if there are no other options.
SEE ALSO
hostaddr(1), rarpd(8), set_net_default(8), boot(8).
