I'll give this one a shot. I *should* have a default gateway, since one is 
listed in rc.conf...

I'll take a look in rc to see how it sets up the default router. I'll need to 
boot back over into FreeBSD to get you the dmesg. I didn't see anything 
unusual there, though.

Hmmm, since I just heard that 4.3 is out, I may install it today or tomorrow 
anyway...
