Well, there isn't as far as I can see. My network looks as follows.
,------.
| ADSL |
`------'
| |
,------------------.
| eth1 |
| |
| Debian Etch |
| running udhcpd |
| and iptables |
| |
| eth0 192.168.1.1 |
`------------------'
| |
X (crossover)
| |
,------------------.
| eth0 |
| |
| ThinkPad T42 |
`------------------'
The contents of /etc/udhcpd.conf is
start 192.168.1.4
end 192.168.1.254
interface eth0
max_leases 50
option dns 192.168.1.1
option router 192.168.1.1
option namesvr 192.168.1.1
option wins 192.168.1.1
option domain xxxx.dk
After the installer says "...However, no default route was set...", the
output on VT4 is
kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth0/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
dhclient: Sending on LPF/eth0/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
dhclient: Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.1
dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1
dhclient: bound to 192.168.1.8 -- renewal in 432000 seconds.

I don't think so, see above. Do you have any suggestions to what I
should do to debug further?

Maybe I was not clear enough about this part.
If I manually configure the interface with route and everything, the
connection works fine, and I can wget the Release files etc. from the
console.
