Hi

I have this one liner that returns IP address for ethernet, wireless and ppp

[technosaurus]

Do you need the external (internet) ip address or just the local one?

[01micko]

Well, that depends on the interface type . I only need the dhcp (or statically) assigned address, which ifconfig shows just fine with that simple oneliner.

What I was really getting at is there any other abbreviation for "eth", as in some wireless (usually wlan${n}) can be rao4{n}, ath${n}, I've seen some others IRCC. Not so important for wireless as it is in the "else" bit. "eth" is the "if", ppp is the "if else". And is there anything else similar to ppp that might get lost?

"lo" is already filtered out. So really, the question is what else, if anything, can be found in /sys/class/net/ ?

Hi 01micko
LupuPlus 5.2.8: Menu -> System -> System status and config -> Pup-SysInfo system information -> System-Apps -> Network, and voilá!
Or just 'ipinfo' in a terminal.

On the other hand, it don't invoke any of the little grey ones...

this may be useful:

With madwifi you don't want wifi[0-9]* - only ath[0-9]* is actually used.
In theory, it's possible to assign completely arbitrary names.

[01micko]

yeah, wifi being the "else" shouldn't matter too much.

I was looking at parsing /proc/net/fib_trie

I remember now that there's vboxnet0, tun0, and tap0-loopback type setups, but meant for networking with VMs/other such things.
