Okay it seems to me that you want to use DHCP in order to get your ass
(machine) in the internet. That seems rather logically, only i use the
dhclient <interface> command (dhclient rl0 for example). To me it sounds
rather silly to do a netstat -rn command, checkup the default route
interface and then add dhcp stuff into it.. since dhcp sets these
default route for me..
Perhaps you can try and see if that works quicker :)
Cheers
