Using any network interface whatsoever

    ...lazy...

    Not all problems can be fixed by somebody else.  Work a little for a 
change.

    If you wish to name your interfaces switch to Windows.

ifconfig -a | awk '/^[a-z0-9^]*:/ {i=$1} /inet / {ip=$2;net=$4;} 
/status/ {print i" "ip" - "net" - "$2}'

em0: 10.0.1.1 - 0xff000000 - active
em1: 69.x.x.x - 0xfffffff8 - active
em2: 64.x.x.x - 0xfffffff8 - active
em3: 192.168.3.1 - 0xffffff00 - active
em4: 206.x.x.x - 0xfffffff0 - active
