Actually, deloptes is right and you're not.
Kernel's documentation - [1] - describes a way to force a kernel itself
to configure a network interface for IPv4, be it static or DHCP, along
with the primitive routing table (default gw at most).
Taking IPv6's RA into the account, one does not need anything but the
working kernel on the client side to get IPv6 and a primitive routing
table.
