Well, as you said, things are in transition....  And, if you did some google searches
you'd find that there were/are differences between how interface names appear(ed) at
various points depending on system architecture.  That seems to be your main "issue".

All that aside....  If you have a system with a single interface you can always do....

[egreshko at meimei test]$ /sbin/ifconfig | grep 'inet ' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d
: -f 2 | awk '{ print $1}'
192.168.0.18
