I'm not totally familiar with bash but that (16#c0a8c0) is a hexadecimal
number equivalent to an address triplet 192.168.192. I'd guess ${me} is
also a 2 digit hex value and for some reason 100 is added. The whole
thing is assembling an IPv4 CIDR network address (the /24 is the netmask
bit). Try something along the lines of
ifconfig_eth3="192.168.192."$((me_in_decimal+100))"/24"
if you can arrange for ${me} to be specified in decimal rather than hex.
If you can't then something like
ifconfig_eth3="192.168.192."$(hex_to_decimal_plus_100 ${me})"/24"
where implementing the function hex_to_decimal_plus_100 is left as an
exercise for the reader. :-)
