-module(a).
-author('klacke@REDACTED').
-include_lib("kernel/include/inet.hrl").

-compile(export_all).

ips() ->
    {ok, Name} = inet:gethostname(),
    {ok, HE} = inet:gethostbyname(Name),
    HE#hostent.h_addr_list.



This of cource only returns info from the configured
name service.

The call inet:getif() will query the driver the way you
want and return a list of {IP, Bcast, Mask} tuples
