It's ugly. It won't work if you multiple NICs. It may just work for what you need just the same. echo `ifconfig | grep broadcast | cut -d" " -f2`":0.0" This takes the output of ifconfig and parses it just a wee bit with grep and cut. I use something very similar to this in a script that changes my network settings for my laptop on the fly. Let me know if this works for ya.
