Pkg xen devel - Dec 2007 - Bug#437127: xen-utils-common: vif-common fails to identify ip address of ethernet device

I did some fine tuning on the command line, and this one should be
an even better alternative:

ip -4 -o addr show primary dev $1 | awk '$3 == "inet" {print $4;
exit}' | sed 's!/.*!!'

ip -4 -o addr show primary dev eth0 | awk '$3 == "inet"
{match($4,"([0-9.]*)",i); print i[1]; exit}'

HTH, Marc
