Thanks for the reply.  I did this:
diff -wruN dhclient-script dhclient-script.test
--- dhclient-script     2004-06-12 16:31:29.000000000 -0500
+++ dhclient-script.test        2004-06-13 12:11:43.000000000 -0500

   else
     ifconfig $interface 0 up
   fi

   # Add route to make broadcast work. Do not omit netmask.
-  route add default dev $interface netmask 0.0.0.0
+  #route add default dev $interface netmask 0.0.0.0

   # We need to give the kernel some time to get the interface up.
   sleep 1

Then it works fine.
