Well, from here, it looks like being plugged into a small LAN with an
address pool about the size of a /26 or so.  You'll send out a
DHCPDISCOVER packet and get a reply from someone in 10.0.0.0/8.
Occasionally, you won't get a sane default route, so it may be useful to
compute your own.  Your router is always:

  (($IPADDRESS & NETMASK) | 1)
