Ohai plugin to use eth1 on vagrant boxes

I often use vagrant multi-box setups. One issue is that if my chef recipes use the ipaddress attribute, I get the private ip address which won't allow my boxes to talk to each other.

To fix this I wrote a silly little ohai plugin:

provide "ipaddress"
require_plugin "#{os}::network"
network["interfaces"]["eth1"]["addresses"].each do |ip, params|
  if params['family'] == ('inet')
      ipaddress ip
  end
end

Include this in your ohai cookbook as described here: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Distributing+Ohai+Plugins
