Openvpn on R6200v2 dd-wrt kong - ifconfig not in /usr/sbin

OpenVPN isn't connecting.  I enabled logging.  

from var/log/messages

Feb 18 22:50:39 DD-WRT daemon.notice openvpn[3764]: /usr/sbin/ifconfig tun1 10.187.1.6 pointopoint 10.187.1.5 mtu 1400
Feb 18 22:50:39 DD-WRT daemon.err openvpn[3764]: Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program
Feb 18 22:50:39 DD-WRT daemon.notice openvpn[3764]: Exiting due to fatal error
 
ifconfig exists in /sbin, but not in /usr/sbin, and it's being called using a specific location.  I can't mount -o remount,rw / ... well, if I do, /usr/sbin is still read-only.
How can I:
a.  mount /usr/sbin so I can cp /sbin/ifconfig /usr/sbin/ifconfig
b.  symlink /sbin/ifconfig to /usr/sbin/ifconfig (or the other way around, whichever I need to do)
c.  Find the script that is calling /usr/sbin/ifconfig so I can use vi or nano to change the path?
 
If you need any info from files, please give me the full path as I'm not a Linux guy.

I know this post is very old but is there an updated build of DDWRT for this model R6200 v2?

I flashed https://www.myopenrouter.com/download/dd-wrt-firmware-netgear-r6200-v2-7-aug-2014 and it works fine but I cant get the open vpn client to connect. I would like to locate a more recent build since its not official supported.
