I see Sam mentioned sys-host (one of my packages), but it's not very
useful at the moment.  However, I plan to rewrite the Windows portion
to use OLE + WMI.  You can get the info you need on Windows like this:

require "win32ole"

ole = WIN32OLE.connect("winmgmts://")

# Avoid non-working adapters by setting 'IPEnabled' to true
query = "select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where
IPEnabled = True"

ole.ExecQuery(query).each{ |nic|
   p nic.IpAddress
   p nic.IpSubnet
   p nic.DefaultIPGateway
}
