And now was able to do this, but I was wrong about the rest. :)
There was a command "udhcpc" after telnet-ing to the router.

# udhcpc -i eth0 &
# info, udhcp client (v0.9.7) started

So, I get an IP, and I get a route ... yet I can't ping the gateway.
The same process works if I connect the ethernet directly to my laptop
instead of the router. Am I missing anything here?
