My laptop will connect to the coffee shop'w wifi modem, which has IP number 172.16.0.1 and gives me IP number 182.16.0.194, but there seems to be no route from it to anywhere, not even DNS lookup.

Can you tcpdump the DHCP sequence?

This sounds like a bug; 182.etc is not inside the DHCP server's network. A linux box should not end up with an IP address outside the DHCP server's address/netmask, even if the DHCP server is returning nonsense. The linux box should either get a usable address or no address at all.
