[plug] default gateway on dhcp client

[Michael Hunt]

I don't know if you have left off the semi colon in your post or if you
don't have one in you config file. Try adding one to the end and see if that
helps.

Otherwise everything else says your doing it correctly and I have a similar
(Linux gateway-dhcp server/Linux workstation) that this works for,
