After dhclient runs successfully once, some of the information is kept on disk (resolv.conf, default route). Maybe it was enough? I don't know why but it did work. Now I put the media autoselect line in /etc/start_if.dc0 and that works.

I need to use the media autoselect because the networkcard defaults to 10BaseT but I want to use 100Mbit. When I don't use DHCP the network is unreachable. Pinging then gives a no route to host.
