Dmitry and other have shown you good code, but networking in general and your requirement in particular are inherently platform-specific. You will need to consult your target OS documentation to learn how to discover available network interfaces. You might create some generic Ada wrapper over this, but each OS will have its own method of enumerating interfaces.
Honestly I don't remember how to do it on Linux. Take a look at SIOCGIFCONF in the netdevice(7) man page on Linux or netintro(4) man page on OS X. I don't have a Windows machine.
Good luck,
Chris
