Please. We're talking "how do I know what's my IP", that of course means
"how do I know what's this interface's IP". If one doesn't even know which
interface, then just list them first.

ObOfftopic: traditionally, AIX systems have had two interfaces (en* and
ent* IIRC) for each physical NIC: one of them behaves as an Ethernet card
and the other as IEEE 802.3.
