I have exactly the same issues here (on real hardware with same nic
driver). Frustratingly close to working but as Axel points out, the net
stack is fairly flaky as yet. We may need to be a little more patient !
:-)


I notice it doesn't properly set the route for me - and doesn't appear to
create a resolv.conf either.

Even if it gets an ip address from the DHCP server, you may still have to
add a route using:

route add /dev/net/<driver_name>/0 default gw <router_ip_address>

echo nameserver <dns_ip_address> > /etc/resolv.conf

replacing the <...> with your values of course
