I recommend using the 'ip' command (in package 'iproute'). My
understanding is that it is intended to replace the 'ifconfig' tool.
$ ip addr show dev wlan
(substitute the proper device name on your system instead of 'wlan')
or just
$ ip addr show
(or even just 'ip addr')

This yields the IPv4 address in CIDR notation :
$ ip addr show dev wlan | grep 'inet\>' | awk '{print $2}'
If you don't want the netmask with the address,
$ ip addr show dev wlan | grep 'inet\>' | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's,/.*,,'
(note that if your system is configured for ipv6, the grep pattern
there excludes the 'inet6' addresses)
