"wlanconfig" is a wifi configuration utility unique to the old "ath_pci" wifi driver. This driver, and the associated wlanconfig, are no longer contained in modern Puppy versions.
Clearly, a more recent package is required ... and the necessary update is mentioned in the very first post in this thread -

All wifi drivers are now supported, not just the ath_pci and hostap drivers.
