int success = 0;

// retrieve the current interfaces – returns 0 on success

// Loop through linked list of interfaces

while(temp_addr != NULL)

if(temp_addr->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET)

{

// Check if interface is en0 which is the wifi connection on the iPhone

if([[NSString stringWithUTF8String:temp_addr->ifa_name] isEqualToString:@”en0″])

{

// Get NSString from C String

address = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:inet_ntoa(((struct sockaddr_in *)temp_addr->ifa_addr)->sin_addr)];

}

}

temp_addr = temp_addr->ifa_next;

}

}

// Free memory
