Magic is the word, as at least I do not know what you want to do, so if I did manage to help you out, it would be just magic. :-) Do you want to extract your computer's ip-address and broadcast address from ifconfig, and then do magic stuff? In your example it seems that you've already chosen both ip and netmask.
