NetBSD-current amd64 with dhcpcd connects only partially

Do you really mean netstat -nrf inet4 , or should that be inet?  I am in FreeBSD now and checked "man netstat" for both FreeBSD and NetBSD.

I am in FreeBSD now but can see the /etc/resolv.conf files match :

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 209.18.47.61
nameserver 209.18.47.62

I run netstat -nrf inet on FreeBSD, and it shows only local interfaces, so don't expect anything better in NetBSD:

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Netif Expire
default            192.168.0.1        UGS         re0
127.0.0.1          link#2             UH          lo0
192.168.0.0/24     link#1             U           re0
192.168.0.5        link#1             UHS         lo0

Now if I knew what options/parameters to tweak, I could try again in NetBSD.

For when to try to rebuild NetBSD, I look to

and shy away when I see something like
