The IP address of what?
Rememeber, a computer can have an arbitrary number of different IP addresses assigned to various interfaces. It may even have several IP addresses on the same network card.So, which of them do you want?

Yes that's right. In fact (excuse my bad english), my driver is 'iconfiged- up' with an IP in a script, and there is only one IP attach to the adapter. The adapter is a serial modem wich will work like an ethernet card, I'm working on the encapsulation of packets on the serial line and I need the IP that ifconfig attach to it.
I've seen in the rubini linux device driver that it exists one field in the struture that contain the IP but it doesn't exist in my structure so I though that I can find it elsewhere. So the IP that I need for the driver of the device, is the one the device is attached to. I expect to explain myself clearly else don't hesitate to tell me more.
thanks
