The distributions I lookied at recently all came without "ifconfig" but
with the "ip" program instead. Maybe we should consider this alternative
setup. If it helps you to implement it:

$ ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet xxx.xx.xxx.xx/xx brd xxx.xx.xxx.xxx scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 xxxx::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/xx scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

To extract the IP addresses of all interfaces:

$ ip addr | egrep -o "inet [^/]+" | sed 's/inet \(.*\)/\1/'
127.0.0.1
xxx.xx.xxx.xx

Tobi
