netinfo::exists(device) | determine existence of network device |
netinfo::hwaddr(device) | get hardware address (usually MAC address) |
netinfo::ipaddr(device) | get IPv4 address |

netinfo::netmask_short(device) | |
netinfo::bcaddr(device) | get broadcast address (IPv4) |
'device' is a valid network device name, e.g. 'eth0' (do a 'cat /proc/net/dev' for valid names on your system)
