Note that the Linux kernel doesn't specify what is your first network
card (e.g. upgrading the kernel can change the names of your network
cards). It's better to use the MAC address to select the IP address.
Moreover your command gives garbage when the machine has IPv6 support
(grep ' inet ' is better).
