I did not try route. However, pinging the gateway works just fine -
response time is typical - about 0.1 sec.

resolv.conf has only this in it:
search
nameserver 207.230.239.9
nameserver 207.230.239.10
ifconfig shows everything up and running. dhcp-client has no
difficulty getting an IP address, and it writes resolv.conf.
There are no errors in dmesg.
