Or check out getifaddrs(3). Attached are a couple files I've used in a
home project that will get you in the right direction (look at
get_if_info, you can also call get_first_if_up_with_mac_addr() to get the
first interface that is up and has a physical (MAC) address, then call
get_if_info() on that).

Feel free to reuse, borrow etc. from that. No warranties :)

YA
