  <p>I did not get the list that starts with <code>wlan0</code></p>
  
  <p>I even tried typing <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0</code> but I got the following error </p>
  
  <pre><code>wlan0 error fetching interface information: Device not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm connected through a wired cable and yes I'm connected to the internet since I can browse websites and for the moment I do not wanna set up any wireless connection I just want to be able to get my ip so I can login to the pi using the ip address </p>
  
  <p>is there anyway I can get my raspberry pi's ip address </p>
