I needed to do the same thing, got help in the #orlug channel in about a 
minute.  Here's what the cool froods in there came up with:

addrext=`ifconfig eth1 |grep "inet addr" |awk -F":" '{ print $2 }' |awk 
-F " " '{ print $1 }'`

just change 'eth1' to your appropriate interface and you're golden.

Your mouse has moved.
