Neither did you.  ;-)  Asked for was a solution using ifconfig and bash;
you added grep and tr.  Yes, that's entirely reasonable on your part,
but it's not necessary.

Here's an ugly way to do it:

NETADDR=`/sbin/ifconfig |
        while read w d z z; do
            if [ "$w" = "inet" ]; then
                d=${d#addr:}; z=${z#Mask:};
                a=${d%%.*}; w=${z%%.*}; d=${d#*.}; z=${z#*.};
                b=${d%%.*}; x=${z%%.*}; d=${d#*.}; z=${z#*.};
                c=${d%%.*}; y=${z%%.*}; d=${d#*.}; z=${z#*.};
                echo $((a&w)).$((b&x)).$((c&y)).$((d&z));
                break;
            fi;
        done`

And here's a better way, inspired by your use of 'tr':

NETADDR=`/sbin/ifconfig |
        while read w x y y; do
            if [ "$w" = "inet" ]; then
                set -- ${x//./ }; a=${1#addr:}; b=$2; c=$3; d=$4;
                set -- ${y//./ }; w=${1#Mask:}; x=$2; y=$3; z=$4;
                echo $((a&w)).$((b&x)).$((c&y)).$((d&z));
                break;
            fi;
        done`
